About This Item
London: T. Becket, 1778. Paperback. Very Good. Title continued: "on the Motion for the Address, and the Amendment: With Notes." The second edition, printed from the same setting of type as the first. vi, [2], 74 p.; 21 cm. 8vo. Modern marbled paper wrapper. References: Howes, T258; English Short Title Catalog, 3844. Six-digit number stamped at head of title page. This satirical pamphlet by playwright Richard Tickell first published before Parliament met in 1778 to consider that pesky problem in the American colonies, and reprinted several times. Tickell was reported to have mimicked the style of various politicians so successfully that when one spoke without having seen the pamphlet, "his speech was so exactly like the anticipation of it, that the House burst into a roar of laughing, so that he could not go on." [Mackenzie, Henry. Anecdotes and Egotisms (1927) 148]. In Very Good Condition: lacking half title and final blank leaf; occasional foxing; otherwise clean and tight.
