Rights of the people; or, reasons for a regicide peace. . .

London: Printed for J.S. Jordan, 1796. FIRST EDITION. Disbound; edges untrimmed, other than a few minimal spots, an excellent copy. First edition of this attack against Edmund Burke’s Letters on a regicide peace, published the same year. Burke opposed ending the war with the Republican government of France, and his work reflected his opposition to recognition of the French government. Williams sets forth the philosophical, political and economic reasons for ending the war, as well as listing in detail the faults of Burke’s work.
