About This Item
Beccles: R.B. Jarman [Printer] Single sided printed leaflet, approximately 185mm x 220mm in size, n.d. but probably c.1830. Lightly browned, stained, with top left hand corner missing, vertical paper flaw affecting a few letters but with no loss of sense. Anti-'Swing' leaflet, decrying the breaking of threshing machines and the burning of barns and corn stacks. "If you burn my Barn or my Stack, why may I not burn your Cottage and Furniture, destroy your Cabbages and Potatoes, and all the crop of your Garden? ... When, therefore, you feel tempted to join a Riotous Party, ask yourself this question - Should I like it myself? - and then DO AS YOU WOULD BE DONE BY". The printer was R.[obert] B.[arnett] Jarman, (fl. 1812-1851), who was the son of a papermaker. BL only in Library Hub, suggesting 1834 as the publication date, but the protests had ended by then. First Edition. Unbound. Fair. 8vo. Leaflet.
