[209 x 128 x 50 mm]. xxxii, 251 pp; 257, [1], 271-282, [1], 260-270, [2] pp. Bound in contemporary mottled calf, the covers with a gilt Greek-key roll border. Smooth spines divided into six panels by gilt pallets, lettered in the second on a black label and numbered in the fifth on a circular red label on a green label, the others with a central medallion, the edges of the boards tooled with a gilt fillet, the turn-ins with a gilt roll, marbled endleaves, yellow edges. (The mottling acid has slightly corroded the surface of the leather, with small loss of gilt, short crack in upper joint of vol.1, corners bumped). A section is misbound at the end of vol.2 but the text is complete. A few minor spots but a good copy of this elegant edition. Both volumes are neatly inscribed in ink: "John Bull / Street / to his daughter / Sarah Bull / 7th month 10th 1819" and this is repeated in pencil in vol.1. Sarah Bull (1801-1866) was the daughter of John Bull, a glove manufacturer in Street. In 1825 she married Cyrus Clark (1801-1866), the founder of the shoe business in Street. There is a pencil note that these two volumes passed to Cyrus and Sarah's son Thomas Beaven Clark (1837-1920), who is reputed to have taken life easy as a "Gentleman".

Hard Cover. Zustand: Poor. No Dust Jacket. New Edition. First Printing. Publisher's full leather. This is a later edition (1786) of the collected letters of "Junius," first published in 1772. "Junius' poured brilliantly slanderous invective upon Tory-minded English ministers, especially the Duke of Grafton, for a series of inconsistent measures which allegedly ruined England and drove the colonies 'into excesses little short of rebellion.' Vehement, lucid, frequently reprinted in English and colonial newspapers, the letters were polemical masterpieces with such extraordinary knowledge and appreciation of contemporary colonial opinion that they lent moral support to the early revolutionary cause. 'Junius' opposed the Tea Duty, but upheld the legality of the Stamp Act, and prophesied (Dec. 19, 1769) that the colonies aimed at independence" - Dictionary of American History. .
