About this Item

[4],28pp. Quarto. Modern paper boards, printed paper label. Very clean internally. Near fine. In a half morocco and cloth folder. Smelt speaks of his concern over a petition which he feels defies constitutionality in dividing power away from the monarchy. "An edition of this speech was brought out by the Revd William Mason and other supporters of economical and political reform, who exaggerated and ridiculed Smelt's defence of the royal prerogative and the character of George III. He remained close to the king, however, who presented him with a house at Kew in 1787 and made several visits there" - DNB. Smelt, an engineer, spent a brief time working in the American colonies.
