Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Near Fine. Scarce Northumberland election broadside printed by M. Smith of Alnwick during the county election of 1826.

An important piece of provincial political ephemera providing contemporary evidence for electioneering practices immediately before parliamentary reform.

Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Near Fine. Rare satirical election broadside issued during the Northumberland Parliamentary election of 1826. Printed as a comic duet intended to be sung, the broadside attacks rival political interests through humour, parody and coded references familiar to contemporary voters.

An excellent example of Georgian political satire and electioneering propaganda, illustrating the use of popular song and performance in influencing public opinion before the Reform Act.

Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Near Fine. Rare Georgian Northumberland election broadside issued in support of Lord Howick during the famous 1826 county election. The broadside addresses the freeholders of Northumberland, attacks the tactics used against Howick, denies manoeuvres surrounding his possible resignation, and urges voters to… rally behind him. Signed "SICCIUS", probably invoking Lucius Siccius Dentatus, the Roman popular champion, the notice is a striking example of classical political rhetoric used in Georgian electoral propaganda. The 1826 Northumberland election involved Lord Howick, Matthew Bell, H. T. Liddell and T. W. Beaumont, and became one of the most celebrated county contests of the period, marked by immense expense, accusations of coalition, intense canvassing, printed propaganda and political hostility. The wider campaign also produced the well-known duel on Bamburgh Sands between Beaumont and John Lambton, later Earl of Durham. No institutional copy traced in the British Library, Library Hub Discover, or WorldCat. Apparently unrecorded institutionally. Single printed broadside, approximately 28 x 22 cm. Folded as issued with light creasing, minor age toning and handling wear. Near fine. A scarce and historically significant survival of Georgian Northumberland political ephemera.

Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Near Fine. Rare Georgian Northumberland election broadside printing Matthew Bell's speech at the close of the poll during the famous 1826 county election. Bell thanks supporters for their exertions and addresses the alleged coalition between Henry Thomas Liddell and Thomas Wentworth Beaumont, presenting hi…mself as unconnected with any other candidate and defending Lord Howick's role in exposing what Bell calls a "secret Conspiracy" against the freedom of election. The 1826 Northumberland election involved Matthew Bell, H. T. Liddell, Lord Howick, and T. W. Beaumont, and became one of the most celebrated county contests of the Georgian period, marked by immense expenditure, coalition rumours, religious controversy, and extensive printed propaganda. This title is recorded in at least one previously marketed collection of related 1826 election material, but no separate institutional copy has been traced in the British Library, Library Hub Discover, or WorldCat.

Folded as issued with light creasing, minor age toning, and contemporary manuscript docketing to verso. Very good.

Add to basketNo Binding. Condition: Very Good. Rare Georgian political broadside printing an exchange between T. H. Liddell and J. G. Lambton, later Earl of Durham, originally dated February 1820. The sheet reproduces Liddell's declaration that Lambton's conduct in Parliament and County Durham was so dangerous that he would oppose him even i…f he were his brother, followed by Lambton's memorable reply expressing "Gratitude for your FRANKNESS; Compassion for your FEARS; little Dread of your OPPOSITION; and no want of your SUPPORT." Although the exchange dates from 1820, this broadside appears to have circulated within the wider political context of the Northumberland election struggles of the 1820s, especially the famous 1826 contest involving Lord Howick, Matthew Bell, H. T. Liddell, and T. W. Beaumont. No separate institutional copy traced in the British Library, Library Hub Discover, or WorldCat. The exchange is documented elsewhere, but this broadside printing appears apparently unrecorded institutionally. Single printed broadside, approximately 27.6 x 22.3 cm. Folded as issued with light creasing, minor age toning, and contemporary manuscript docketing to verso. Very good. Scarce North-East political ephemera linking Liddell, Lambton, and the personal political hostilities surrounding Georgian election culture.
