His letters were published between 1769 and 1772 and deal with his views of corruption in English government and notions of freedom of speech, press, etc. Henry Woodfall was the printer of The Advertiser, the paper in which these letters originally appeared in London. Scattered light foxing to the title page and foldout letters, old owner name in pencil and small old owner name stamp, else a nice clean, tight and unmarked book in original publisher's red blind stamped cloth binding with gilt spine lettering. This is undated, but probably was published about 1850 based on the look and feel of the book--the title page of volume 2 indicates a publication date of [1853? ]--last number is hard to read. ; Facsimilie Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 216, 215 pages.
