Item description from seller

Nathaniel Forster Defends Blackstone [Forster, Nathaniel (c.1726-1790)]. An Answer to a Pamphlet Entitled, "The Question Stated, Whether the Freeholders of Middlesex Forfeited their Right by Voting for Mr. Wilkes at the Last Election? In a Letter from a Member of Parliament to One of His Constituents." With a Postscript, Occasioned by a Letter in the Public Papers Subscribed Junius. London: Printed for James Fletcher and Co., 1769. 38 pp. Quarto (9" x 5-3/4"). Disbound stab-stitched pamphlet in recent marbled paper folder. Light toning to interior, occasional light foxing, light soiling in a few places. $750. * Only edition. This pamphlet represents another voice in the debate concerning the expulsion of the publisher John Wilkes from Parliament in 1769 after his conviction for seditious libel. Sir William Blackstone had endorsed Wilkes's expulsion, creating further controversy after several, including Sir William Meredith in The Question Stated (1769), pointed out perceived inconsistencies between his position in Parliament and in his Commentaries. Forster, a cleric and political writer, jumped in to defend Blackstone. OCLC locates 8 copies of this title in North America, 1 in a law library (Yale).
