Printed for R. Griffiths, London: ., 1759 pp. viii, [18], 444. 8vo. 210 mm. Preliminary pages stained, but very readable. Worn original full leather binding. Stamped ownerships of John Guy Eshleman (1877-1966) an important figure in Lancaster, PA. Hardbound. Very Good. Formerly attributed to Benjamin Franklin or his son William, this was probably mostly composed by Richard Jackson. Richard Jackson (d. 1787), London barrister, was called, because of his wide knowledge, 'the Omniscient Jackson.' He was agent for Connecticut, 1760-71; for Pennsylvania, 1763-70; and for Massachusetts, 1765-67; counsel to the Board of Trade, 1770, and M.P., 1762-84. He and Franklin assisted each other in preparing important pamphlets on colonial affairs. Through this review an argument is made asserting the primacy of the Provincial Assembly over the Proprietors. Sabin 25605 (citing the 1818 Philadelphia edition); Howes P204; Ford 253. EVANS2. Hardcover. Good.

Generally attributed to Franklin, but disowned by him in a letter to David Hume (27th Sept., 1760)--though he elsewhere admits that it was published at his expense. "Appendix.
