Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Octavo, 8.25 in. x 5.25 in., pp. 156. First complete edition (first published as pamphlet in 1792). Rebound in brown cloth boards. Gilt title on red panel, and gilt bandlines, to spine. Newer endpapers. Unmarked: pages are bright.

Later he wrote pamphlets attacking political corruption. Callender's political writings were tinged with radical democratic egalitarianism, Scottish nationalism, and a pessimistic view of human nature. An admirer of Jonathan Swift, Callender sought to cut the wealthy and the powerful down to size in his writing. . In 1792 he published The Political Progress of Britain, a critique of war, imperialism, and corruption. He fled to Ireland and to the United States to avoid prosecution. After Callender left Scotland, Lord Gardenstone exposed him as the author; the journalist's reputation also was marred by the rumor that he had implicated Gardenstone . (Later) In the United States, he was a central figure in the press wars between the Federalist and Democratic-Republican parties. After Jefferson won the presidency, Callender solicited employment as a postmaster, which was denied by Jefferson. Callender then published existing rumors claiming President Jefferson had children with slave Sally Hemings. Subsequently, he was imprisoned under the Alien and Sedition Acts, and later turned against his one-time Democratic-Republican patrons. (from Wikipedia).…
