The first complete edition, after appearing in pamphlet form in 1792. A broad attack on Great Britain and all of her policies, by this rabid politician and Republican. Callender's publication of this work landed him in prison for sedition in 1793, and later he emigrated to America. ".The Reader is here presented with a kind of original ground-plan, of those follies and crimes of government, which laid the foundation of a British, and in particular of a Scots insurrection. This little volume forms a general introduction to the perusal of those trials at Edinburgh, for Sedition, that have been printed, and to those others, for high treason, that will possibly be soon printed in the United States" - Advertisement.
