1766réf. 38951London: J. Almon 1766. Debating the Validity of the Stamp Act Argues the questions of England's right to tax its dependencies and addresses the issue of the Stamp Act with reference to America. The anonymous author's opinion on the matter is fairly measured admitting that the American colonies should contribute to their defense but asserting that the Stamp Act was the improper way to go about it - he would rather see Americans contribute directly to their own military defense and thereby reduce the costs incurred on Britain rather than indirectly by feeding the mother country's coffers. Attributed to one Mr. Gretrix a Dublin lawyer. Half title. Modern plain blue wrappers paper label. Moderate age-toning else internally clean. Very good. AMERICAN CONTROVERSY 66-7. HOWES A297.

1766réf. 376944London: J. Almon 1766. First English edition. 62pp. Without the terminal ad leaf. 8vo. Modern full speckled calf spine gilt red morocco label. First English edition. 62pp. Without the terminal ad leaf. 8vo. The scarce first British edition after the first edition printed in Philadelphia in December 1765 of Dickinson's first work an important tract against the Stamp Act. Here Dickinson argued against stricter trade regulations that drained the colonies of currency and warned that taxing the colonies without their consent was a step toward slavery. "Considered only as an essay in economic theory the pamphlet is notable for its discussion of paper money of flows of trade and of the mechanisms and effects of taxation are sophisticated for the time.But the essay is more than a technical treatise. Stylistically it has the vivid phraseology the dramatic exclamatory italicization and paragraphing and the aptness of illustration that would soon make Dickinson the most widely read pamphleteer in the colonies" Bailyn. This can be exemplified by the culminating section of this work in which Dickinson writes: "Late measures have indeed excited an universal and unexampled grief and indignation throughout the colonies. What man who wishes the welfare of America can view without pity without passion her restricted and almost stagnated trade with its numerous train of evils-taxes torn from her without her consent-Her legislative assemblies the principal pillars of her liberty crushed into insignificance-A formidable force established in the midst of peace to bleed her into obedience-The sacred right of trial by jury violated by the erection of arbitrary and unconstitutional jurisdictions-and general poverty discontent and despondence stretching themselves over his unoffending country" Indeed it was in the wake of the dissent following the Stamp Act that Dickinson emerged as arguably the first hero of the Revolution an important spokeman against British tyranny. His Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania published in 1768 would put him at the forefront of the Patriot movement and the philosophical underpinnings of that work can be found in his Late Regulations. It is widely believed that Benjamin Franklin then in London as the colonial agent for Pennsylvania arranged for the work's publication there timed with his famous testimony before the House of Commons protesting the Stamp Act. Both the Philadelphia and London first editions of Dickinson's Late Regulations are considerably more scarce than his Letters from a Farmer with only a single example of either edition appearing in the auction records in the last quarter century.
