About This Item
London: J. Dodsley & T. Cadell, 1778. 111pp, hand-tied paper wraps sans half-title page. The fifth edition, adding, for the first time, pages 103-111 consisting of the 1778 Franklin letter. All editions, plus one in Dublin, were printed in 1778. Sabin quotes contemporary reviewers: Pulteney "appears to have written on purpose to prepare our minds for a plan of reconciliation, which, it is much to be apprehended, will come too late to prevent the loss of America. In the appendix to this pamphlet are some letters written by Dr. Franklin to Gov. Shirley, in 1754, in which the objections of the Americans to being taxed are so fully, ably, and clearly stated, that.hardly anything new has since been suggested on the subject." Appendix No. III, "a letter from Franklin dated Passy, March 12, 1778, explain(s) several mistakes of the author." Adams 78-91e. Howes P649. Sabin 66647. Gephart 3244. 5th. Paperback. Very Good. 12 vo 1/2 Pound.
