8vo., [vi], 100pp., half-title, marbled endpapers, bound in contemporary half calf (by Mansell), professionally rebacked with the original spine laid down, spine gilt decorated in compartments, slightly rubbed on some extremities. Ex Libris Horatio Noble Pym, well known book collector and the editor of the best-selling private journal of the Quaker writer, Caroline Fox, with his fine engraved bookplate to upper pastedown. A VG clean tightly bound copy of this uncommon work by Landor. It is known to many distinguished men, literary and political, of both parties, that I have long been occupied in writing a work, which I thought to entitle The Letters of a Conservative. In these I attempted to trace and to expose the faults and fallacies of every administration, from the beginning of the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five. I was born at the opening of that year; and many have been my opportunities of conversing, at home and abroad, with those who partook in the events that followed it.

This followed as the corollary of their recorded words and actions. But the mischief they did is now in part removed, though not by them nor indeed with their consent; and the exposure of it could only serve for the indulgence of ill-humour and the excitement of malignity - (Walter Savage Landor). Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864) was an English writer, poet, and activist.

As remarkable as his work was, it was equalled by his rumbustious character and lively temperament. Both his writing and political activism, such as his support for Lajos Kossuth and Giuseppe Garibaldi, were imbued with his passion for liberal and republican causes. He befriended and influenced the next generation of literary reformers such as Charles Dickens and Robert Browning.…
