Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
[2],129,[5]pp. Modern half calf and marbled boards, spine gilt. Titlepage expertly repaired along gutter. About very good. The third edition, "with additions," published a year after the first. Day (1748- 89) was a remarkably intelligent and provocative Englishman. He was "a holder and practitioner of strange ideas, a perpetual optimist and a profound pessimist, a philanthropist and a misanthrope, an opponent of organized charity but a soft touch for those on the cadge, a preacher and an iconoclast, and above all a recluse who found it almost impossible to keep out of the limelight, Day was a strange bundle of contradictions" - DNB. In 1773 he co-wrote THE DYING NEGRO, a long poem narrating the tale of a runaway slave, and in 1776 he published another poem, THE DEVOTED LEGIONS, in support of the cause of the American colonists and critical of English government policy. In the present work Day asserts that England must make peace with the colonists, and implores the government to make a peace treaty with the American representatives currently in London. At the time, Day happened to be acting as an unpaid private secretary to Henry Laurens, one of the American peace negotiators. To this edition is added an essay, "Some Observations Upon the Excise-Laws." AMERICAN CONTROVERSY 82-2c. SABIN 18986. HOWES D164. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers WRCAM44744

The third edition, "with additions," published a year after the first. Day (1748-89) was a remarkably intelligent and provocative Englishman. He was "a holder and practitioner of strange ideas, a perpetual optimist and a profound pessimist, a philanthropist and a misanthrope, an opponent of organized charity but a soft touch for those on the cadge, a preacher and an iconoclast, and above all a recluse who found it almost impossible to keep out of the limelight, Day was a strange bundle of contradictions" - DNB. In 1773 he co-wrote THE DYING NEGRO, a long poem narrating the tale of a runaway slave, and in 1776 he published another poem, THE DEVOTED LEGIONS, in support of the cause of the American colonists and critical of English government policy. In the present work Day asserts that England must make peace with the colonists, and implores the government to make a peace treaty with the American representatives currently in London.

Third edition of Day's important treatise on American Independence. Octavo, bound in paper wrappers. In very good condition. Uncommon in this condition. This unusually well-written pamphlet has a number of points of interest. Its author, Thomas Day, was also the author of that minor classic âSandford and Merton.â In the present work he uses the presence of Franklin in England and the preliminary overtures of peace to expound his egalitarian principles and to point out the folly of continuing a war based on injustice and tyranny. He quotes Franklin at length and also deals extensively with the question of slavery. The first part of this essay appeared in the London âCourant.â This enlarged âSecond editionâ is its first appearance in pamphlet form; and a still further enlarged âThird editionâ was reprinted three times the following year.
