Disbound. Zustand: Very Good. First edition. A first edition of Charles Stanhope's analysis of the prime minister's plans to tackle the national debt. An uncommon work. In this uncommon essay, Charles Stanhope discusses the Prime Minister's methods of reducing the national debt. Due to the American War of Independence, the national debt had doubled to £242 million, and Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger proposed several successful plans to lower the national debt, including imposing new taxes, and instituting a sinking fund that could accumulate interest that could then be used to pay off the national debt. By 1972, the debt had fallen to £170 million. In the present volume, Charles Stanhope, who was in fact the brother-in-law to the prime minister, offers his observations on Pitt's proposed methods of reducing the national debt. Disbound, with some remnants of the original card to the spine. Externally, generally smart, with just some light spotting to the outer papers. Internally, firmly bound, pages are generally bright and clean with the occasional spot. Very Good. None (illustrator). book.…

A very good, handsomely bound copy. $1,500. * First and only edition of this spirited defense of British civil liberties, carrying profound transatlantic legal significance. Published at the absolute peak of state panic surrounding the French Revolution, this pivotal tract addresses the acute threats posed to trial by jury and freedom of the press by contemporary seditious libel prosecutions. Written specifically to support Charles James Fox's historic Libel Bill of 1792, Stanhope directly challenges the judicial status quo of the era, wherein crown-appointed judges reserved the right to determine whether a text was legally libelous-leaving juries with the hollow task of merely confirming the physical fact of publication. Stanhope heavily relies on Thomas Erskine's landmark defense of William Shipley (the Dean of St. Asaph) to argue that a jury must possess the power to return a general verdict on the whole matter at issue. This core legal argument-that juries have the right to determine both the law and the facts-shared a direct philosophical bond with the American Founding generation. During the Early Republic, American legal architects heavily integrated these exact English common-law defense models into the fabric of the Sixth Amendment and early state constitutions. Furthermore, the author himself was highly regarded across the Atlantic; as a Member of Parliament, Stanhope had fiercely opposed Great Britain's war against the American Colonies, cementing his reputation as a staunch ally to the nascent United States. His enduring impact on American intellectual life was formally recognized later in life when he was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1816. By advocating for a legal shift that foreshadowed both England's dramatic 1794 Treason Trials and the. London: George Stafford, For P. Elmsly, 1792. (illustrator). …
