A propos de cet article

Boston, Gray & Bowen, 1831, First Edition, 8vo., 449 pages. Book bound in a half black leather with leather corners. Five raised bands with lettering in gilt on spine. Light rubbing and minor shelf wear to boards, some foxing to prelims. Ownership signature on title page. A rare American study of the Junius controversy by Waterhouse, a prominent physician and co-founder of Harvard Medical School, who turns his attention to British political history. Waterhouse attempts to unmask the identity of the pseudonymous Junius whose letters fiercely attacked the British government in the 1760s-70s while offering broader reflections on the political landscape of Britain and America from 1763 to 1785. Scarce in the trade, especially in a period binding. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
