By Arnot, Hugo
London: Printed by Charles Squire for Sherwood, Neely, and Jones, 1812. 32pp, with the half title. Disbound, with some loosening. Light tan and fox, Very Good. Inscription, slightly trimmed, at head of half title: 'The Hon. Geo. Bradley, with Mr. Dickins's ComplimentsLondon, February 15, 18__.' Arnot takes a critical look at British policies under George III. Throughout his reign "our national councils have been misguided, and policy mistaken." He scores England's actions that led to the American Revolution, "a storm of rebellion, excited by measures equally impolitic, oppressive, and unjust, and ending in the premature, unnatural, and violent dismemberment of a valuable portion of the empire." OCLC 6607397 [3].
