This important treatise reached its third and final edition in 1775. As Holdsworth notes, Eden was the "first person to review English criminal law.[His] book is a pioneer treatise. It discusses topics which, under the influence of Bentham and Romilly, aroused much attention in the last years of the eighteenth and the first years of the nineteenth century; and it discussed them effectively, because, as the author says in his closing chapter he had tried to establish his principles not as abstract propositions, 'but rather as argumentative inferences, interwoven with, and to be collected from, observations on the penal systems of different governments. (.) The conclusion which he draws, that the reform of the English penal code 'is become an important and almost necessary work,' is irresistible. (.) The book is a remarkable precursor of that new era of agitation for the reform of the law, which, under Bentham's leadership, was soon to begin." Holdsworth, A History of English Law XII:364-65.

First Edition. London: Printed for T. Cadell, 1769. 1st ed. Blackstone's Remarks on the Wilkes Cause [Blackstone, Sir William (1723-1780), Attributed]. The Case of the Late Election for the County of Middlesex, Considered on the Principles of the Constitution and the Authorities of Law. London: Printed for T. Cadell, 1769. [ii], 44 pp. Lacking half-title. Quarto (9" x 6"). Stab-stitched pamphlet bound into recent three-quarter calf over marbled boards, blind fillets to calf edges, gilt fillets and title to spine. Binding very slightly cocked, moderate toning to interior, trimming to top-edge just touching headline in a few places without loss to page numbers, light foxing to several leaves. $1,500. * First edition. In 1768 Wilkes [1727-1797], the publisher of the controversial paper the North Briton, was elected to Parliament by Middlesex County. However, he was imprisoned for seditious libel and expelled. While the legitimacy of his sentence was being debated, Middlesex attempted to re-elect him several times without success. Blackstone supported Parliament's position. During the expulsion debate, Blackstone was challenged by Grenville, who noted a discrepancy between his position on the floor and in the Commentaries. Unable to deliver a satisfactory rebuttal on the spot, he replied with the anonymously published The Case of the Late Election. It initiated a lively pamphlet exchange that involved Samuel Johnson, Sir William Meredith and others. This pamphlet has also been attributed to Jeremiah Dyson [1722-1776] and Owen Ruffhead [1723-1769].
