About This Item
Yarmouth: Printed and sold by J. Keymer, [1812]. [2], 24pp. Interleaved throughout, as issued. Original publisher's printed buff wrappers. Light rubbing to spine. Internally immaculate. An apparently unrecorded, provincially published, register of the 750 voters of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, in the 1812 general election; 'alphabetically arranged and carefully copied from the original poll-books'. Sir Edmund Lacon (1780-1839) secured a comfortable victory for the Tories, defeating fellow Tory, British Army officer William Loftus (1752-1831) and Whig candidate Giffin Wilson (1766-1848). He remained the parliamentary representative for the borough until 1818. . First edition. 8vo.
