Item description from seller

8vo. [213 x 130 x 10 mm]. [iv], 72 pp. Later binding of quarter mottled calf spine with brown paper boards, spine divided into six panels, lettered on a leather label to the second and dated in gilt at the foot, marbled edges. (Tanned endleaves). James Currie (1756-1805) was a Scottish physician and abolitionist. He established a successful practise in Liverpool, but on becoming grieviously ill himself he moved to Bath, Clifton and Sidmouth in order to find a cure. As well as being a physician, he wrote a number of letters and pamphlets on political issues - including this one to William Pitt on our place in Europe and to advise against going to war with France. An argument that still holds relevance 200 years on. This second edition contains, amongst corrections and enlargements, a postscript reacting to the many changes that occured in the interrim period between first publication.
