Item description from seller

8vo. pp. vii, 36. with half-title. modern quarter cloth. Second Edition. Shipley was a vigorous opponent of the American policy of George III and a friend of Benjamin Franklin. "In 1774, after voting against the alteration of the constitution of Massachusetts, proposed as a punishment for the tea-ship riots at Boston, Shipley published [the present] speech which for some reason he had not delivered. It was considered a masterpiece at the time." (DNB) In it he declared: "I look upon North America as the only great nursery of freemen now left upon the face of the earth." Adams 74-74b. Howes S-420. Sabin 80512.
