1777ref. 000205No Publisher Given 1777. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. A Parliamentary Chronicle: or accounts of the proceedings and debates of the House of Commons upon the opening of the present sessions. This spans from October 30 1776 to February 25 1777. No author. These proceedings open with an address by King George to parliament regarding the American Revolution. It begins "Nothing could have afforded me so much satisfaction as to have been able to inform you at the opening of this session that the troubles which have so long distracted my colonies in North America were at an end; and that my unhappy people recovered from their delusion had delivered themselves from the oppression of their leaders and returned to their duty .". After this address various members of parliament respond some with support for the war and others advocating granting America its independence. Some of these speeches go into detail in regard to troops morale conduct propaganda in the US press especially propaganda by General Gage. Also discussed within are Britainn's defenses against Spain and France Jamaica and many other interesting topics. The debates over the war with America are amazing historical references serving to frame the Revolutionary War through the eyes of the British.

VERY GOOD condition with light soiling light fading and moderate scuffing mostly noticeable to the top and bottom of the spine. Light bumping and edgewear. Pages clean and solid but browning.

In-8, cartonnage marbré moderne à la Bradel, 8 p. Edition originale et unique de cette importante et virulente intervention de Cloots qui marque sa rupture avec les Girondins. "Soumis au feu de critiques, Cloots va riposter au cours d'une séance mémorable du club des Jacobins, le 26 novembre, où l'on procède à la première séance d'épuration en radiant Roland, Lanthenas... Cloots demande la parole pour se justifier et confondre les 'Rolando-Brissotins' (…)". Il évoque son repas avec Roland qui l'a traité de "parasite", rappelle son itinéraire politique et oppose sa droiture à la fourberie "d'espions gagés par la police". Il aborde également la question de son opposition au "cabinet de St James" à Saint-Domingue et justifie son soutien à l'abolition immédiate de l'esclavage, position qui lui fut violemment reprochée (cf. R. Mortier, 'A. Cloots', p. 347-348). (Martin & Walter, I, 7774. Tourneux, 9338). Papier bruni. Bon exemplaire.
