Item description from seller

Rare Georgian Northumberland election broadside attacking Henry Thomas Liddell during the famous 1826 county election. The broadside questions Liddell's conduct regarding Catholic emancipation, alleging inconsistency between his public declarations and private assurances to Catholic voters. It also refers to alleged communications concerning Mrs Beaumont and the possible return of Thomas Wentworth Beaumont at the general election. The 1826 Northumberland election involved Lord Howick, Matthew Bell, H. T. Liddell, and T. W. Beaumont, and became one of the most celebrated county contests of the Georgian period, marked by immense expenditure, coalition rumours, printed propaganda, and personal hostility. No institutional copy traced in the British Library, Library Hub Discover, or WorldCat. Apparently unrecorded institutionally. Single printed broadside, approximately 27.7 x 22.5 cm. Folded as issued with light creasing, minor toning, and handling wear. Very good. A scarce and important example of Northumberland political ephemera, particularly interesting for its references to Catholic emancipation politics.…
