Pair of ALs, March 15, 1834; June 27 1844.

Book. 12mo, 1 and 3 pp. respectively, with integral address leaves, both addressed "To the Editor of the York Herald".Two letters reflecting Howitt's involvement with liberal politics. The first presents "a copy of the third edition of a work [probably Howitt's History of the Priestcraft in All Ages and Nations] for which your able & effective criticism has already done so much. Allow me to call your attention to the new matter by which the department of the English Church is much enlarged & I hope improved." The second letter also a accompanied a copy of an unnamed work: "The Tory press is sure to make a dead set at this little volume, and has, indeed begun. I beg, therefore, as an able and unflinching enemy of nemopolies, corn-laws, the fatal thraldom of a Government Education, and of the various despotic institutions which are daily being smuggled out of Germany into our own country, move effectually to enslave and keep down a a great, industrious, and suffering people, to beg your attention to this volume..." Howitt had in 1842 published his Rural and Domestic Life in Germany, based on his long residence there.
