Item description from seller

Rare Georgian Northumberland election broadside printing Matthew Bell's speech at the close of the poll during the famous 1826 county election. Bell thanks supporters for their exertions and addresses the alleged coalition between Henry Thomas Liddell and Thomas Wentworth Beaumont, presenting himself as unconnected with any other candidate and defending Lord Howick's role in exposing what Bell calls a "secret Conspiracy" against the freedom of election. The 1826 Northumberland election involved Matthew Bell, H. T. Liddell, Lord Howick, and T. W. Beaumont, and became one of the most celebrated county contests of the Georgian period, marked by immense expenditure, coalition rumours, religious controversy, and extensive printed propaganda. This title is recorded in at least one previously marketed collection of related 1826 election material, but no separate institutional copy has been traced in the British Library, Library Hub Discover, or WorldCat. Institutionally scarce and possibly unrecorded as a separate holding. Single printed broadside, approximately 27.3 x 22.6 cm. Folded as issued with light creasing, minor age toning, and contemporary manuscript docketing to verso. Very good. Scarce North-East political ephemera linking Liddell, Lambton, and the personal political hostilities surrounding Georgian election culture.…
