1789ref. 004352My book plate on front free end paper and armorial book plate of Rev John Dunn Yarker on front paste-down. 3 front free end papers and 3 rear free end papers one of which has been pasted to the last page.

There are XXVI letters the first dated Aug 2 1788 and the last Sept 3 1788. On Sept 2 he wrote: So much peturbation and heat will not eafily fubfide; and it will be found a matter extremely difficult if practicable to reduce their minds as before to the yoke of fubjection In fact the whole kingdom feems ripe for a Revolution . Bear in mind Bastille day was under a year later - July 14 1789. Hard Cover Parchment. Coverd in PVC plastic. This book apparently followed a companion volume on the Netherlands. At least 7 other publishers have offered this book some still in print proving that many people would choose a hard copy. The book is a classic of Historic interest.
