[PIGOTT, CHARLES] THE JOCKEY CLUB; OR A SKETCH OF THE MANNERS OF THE AGE. Part the Second. The Second Edition. Printed for H. D. Symonds, Paternoster-Row. 1792. [x] + 186 pp. (lacks pp. 171-72; facsimile included). ESTC N29110. Thomas Erskine (1750-1823), was a Scottish Whig lawyer and politician who defended the radicals prosecuted by the government in the 1790s. This text is part of an extensive pamphlet war on the French Revolution and subsequent execution of Louis XIV and war with France. Here he is attacking the views of Edmund Burke (1729-97), who had started the controversy with his Reflections on the Revolution in France in 1790, as expressed in his Letters on the Prospect of a Regicide Peace (1796). The Present War with France was a bestseller and thirty five editions were published in 1797. As first baron, Erskine served in the office of Lord High Chancellor, 1806-07. The Short Review was published anonymously, but is known to be the work of Sir Nathaniel William Wraxall (1751-1831), author and politician, who was created first baronet in 1813. After early employment by the East India Company, 1769-82, he returned home, travelled extensively in Europe and served as a Tory MP for three different constituencies, 1780-94, being later chiefly known for his published European memoirs. This pamphlet is a dispassionate review of the state of Britain in 1787 with some linked observations on other European states. The Jockey Club was also published anonymously, but is known to be the work of Charles Pigott (d.1794), satirist and radical. The work, using partly disguised names, satirises fashionable society and the conduct of life of the upper classes (the actual Jockey Club was founded in 1750). The first part was published in 1792 and there was also a third part and another work by Pigott, The Female Jockey Club (1794).
