1794 · Dublin

by Plowden, Francis
Dublin: P. Byrne, 1794. Original paper over boards [paper partly worn away, spine shorn]. [2], 290 pp; text with minor foxing and Very Good.

Plowden defends England against "the delusion of...infatuated zealots," especially Thomas Paine, who would "attack the very existence of the British Constitution." His analysis of the French Revolution demonstrates the harmful "mania of a pure democracy."
FIRST IRISH EDITION. (Inventory #: 25952)
