'A REMONSTRANCE to the Yeomanry of England': a political pamphlet addressed to the middle classes, condemning the principle of perpetual exclusion of a member from Parliament, but arguing against petitions to the King or the Lords for immediate dissolution, and advising against Wilkes's re-election. The author recommends a non-party form of politics exemplified by Sir G[eorge] S[avile], a sympathetic treatment of
the Americans, and the redress of grievances by the House of Commons. Copied in a transcriber's hand, but with corrections apparently autograph and a prefatory note (f. 1) that the tract was written in 1769 'with thoughts of being printed without the authors name, but ... it was confined to a few of the writers friends who were warm upon the subject of a Remonstrance'.
Paper; ff. 42. Folio. 12 3/4 in. x 8 in. Circ. A. D. 1770.
