About this Item
24pp. Modern paper boards, printed paper label. Modern bookplate on front pastedown. Very minor soiling and foxing. Very good. In a green half morocco and cloth case. Prints the arguments made by those members of the House of Lords who opposed a repeal of the Stamp Act. The main reason seems to be not that the tax is just, but that repealing it would set a bad precedent. This pamphlet also lists the Lords who spoke and voted against the repeal. Their votes would prove to be in vain, however, as the bill passed both houses and received royal assent on March 18, one week after the Lords' vote. Adams notes an eight-page list of the minority in the House of Commons who voted against the bill to repeal the Stamp Act bound at the end, but it seems that format is the exception, and that most copies simply contain the TWO PROTESTS. AMERICAN CONTROVERSY 66-27. GOLDSMITHS 10220. HIGGS 3728. SABIN 16839. ESTC T34189. Seller Inventory # WRCAM44802
