Beaumont, and became one of the most celebrated county contests of the Georgian period, marked by immense expenditure, coalition rumours, religious controversy, aggressive canvassing, and extensive printed propaganda.No institutional copy traced in the British Library, Library Hub Discover, or WorldCat.

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Near Fine. Rare Georgian Northumberland election song sheet attacking Matthew Bell during the famous 1826 county election. Set to the tune of "There's na luck about the house", the lyric repeatedly pities "poor Matty Bell" while presenting him as politically weak and unsuitable. The final stanza urges support for "Liddell and the King", identifying the sheet as pro-Liddell election propaganda. Matthew Bell, known as !Honest Matty" Bell of Woolsington, was one of the principal candidates in the 1826 Northumberland election, alongside Lord Howick, Henry Thomas Liddell, and Thomas Wentworth Beaumont. The contest became notorious for enormous expenditure, intense canvassing, religious controversy over Catholic emancipation, and extensive printed propaganda. An especially interesting survival of Georgian election song culture, intended for popular circulation and performance as well as reading.

In den WarenkorbNo Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Rare Georgian Northumberland election broadside attacking Thomas Wentworth Beaumont during the fiercely contested county election campaigns of the 1820s. The broadside reproduces part of Beaumont's 1824 declaration issued from Warren's Hotel in which he temporarily withdrew from parliamentary attendance owing to "infamous Allegations" said to have damaged his reputation. The anonymous author then pointedly asks: "When were these allegations repelled? And where?" An unusually direct and personal example of Georgian political propaganda, typographically arranged for maximum public impact. The broadside forms part of the wider political struggles involving Lord Howick, Matthew Bell, H. T. Liddell and Beaumont, contests which became notorious for immense expenditure, aggressive canvassing, coalition disputes and extensive printed election literature. The political bitterness surrounding these campaigns later culminated in the famous duel fought on Bamburgh Sands between Beaumont and John Lambton, later Earl of Durham. No institutional copy traced in the British Library, Library Hub Discover, or WorldCat. Apparently unrecorded institutionally. Single printed broadside, approximately 28 x 22 cm. Folded as issued with light creasing, minor wear and age toning. Very good. Scarce Northumberland political ephemera relating to one of the most celebrated county election contests of the Georgian period.

Rare Georgian Northumberland election broadside printed in the form of a mock advertisement attacking a parliamentary candidate, almost certainly Thomas Wentworth Beaumont, during the famous 1826 county election.

Beaumont, contests marked by immense expenditure, intense canvassing, accusations of coalition, and extensive political propaganda. The wider campaign later culminated in the well-known duel fought on Bamburgh Sands between Beaumont and John Lambton, later Earl of Durham.
