About this Item
Description:
[4],142pp. Half title. Late 19th-century wrappers, typed paper label. Spine worn, additional minor wear to extremities, slight dust soiling. Very good. Untrimmed. With four pages of Benjamin Franklin's POLITICAL, MISCELLANEOUS, AND PHILOSOPHICAL PIECES. (London, 1799) in neat contemporary manuscript facsimile laid in. The inserted text concerns a partial defense of Franklin in the face of Wedderburn's harsh assaults on his character. Second edition. This edition was edited by Israel Mauduit and printed to defend his friend, Gov. Hutchinson. These letters by Hutchinson were leaked by a party unknown, but probably Benjamin Franklin, who was then still in London as agent for Pennsylvania and assistant postmaster for the American colonies. The mistrust of colonial intentions revealed in the letters created a firestorm of criticism in Boston and led to Hutchinson's literally fleeing the colony. "Publication of these letters - copies of which Franklin had secured in London - fanned revolutionary sentiment in America more than any other book of the period" - Howes. This volume also prints the proceedings of Franklin's grilling before the Privy Council. After Franklin's appearance and the famed assault on his character by Wedderburn, he was stripped of his post office sinecure, and his position in London was made difficult. The whole incident was a major escalation of the Revolutionary tensions in the American colonies, and the cause of Franklin's final disillusionment with the British ministry.
