Honble Dowdeswell Esq" in contemporary hand to title page. $450. Only edition reprinted in Dublin in 1770. In 1768 John Wilkes the publisher of the controversial paper The North Briton was elected to Parliament by Middlesex. However during his term he was imprisoned for seditious libel and subsequently expelled. While the legitimacy of his sentence was being debated Middlesex attempted to re-elect him several times without success. The Wilkes Cause as it was known was a significant controversy of its day and many prominent figures including Sir William Blackstone weighed in. Among others our pamphlet replies to Blackstone's The Question Stated 1769 pointing out inconsistencies between his endorsement of Wilkes's expulsion and his position in his Commentaries in a defense of Wilkes. This anonymous pamphlet has been attributed to several authors. The annotator of our copy appears to have assigned the authorship to William D. Dowdeswell 1721-1775 a member of Parliament and leader of the Rockingham Whigs who opposed Wilkes's expulsion from Parliament and other legal measures against him. Not in Eller or Laeuchli.
