[WRAGG, Sir W. T.]

Letters on aristocracy; self-dependence; and the principles of morality. Originally published in the Sheffield Iris.

Sheffield: A Whitaker & Co, 1839. 18cm. 62, [2], 59[1]pp. Contemporary unlettered green grained-cloth. A collection of 13 letters under two paginations. Published originally in the Sheffield Iris which by this time, under the editorship of John Holland, was less radical than when James Montgomery was at the helm. Nonetheless, Wragg adopts a liberal standpoint, praising Heine in his first introduction; in the second he states there is nothing new in politics 'One other mode of charity requires notice.- The newspapers at Christmas teem with eulogiums on the generosity of those who treat the poor to a roasted ox, a fat sheep, or who distribute coals, blankets, and other necessaries of life. The true point of view in which to regard these donations is that of peace offerings mad by the higher orders in consideration of the disproportionate taxation of the lower. A heavy tax is laid upon corn, those for whose benefit it is imposed, make the occasional sacrifice of a few loaves: the roasted ox is the burnt offering for the impost on foreign meat. Such is the pernicious system under which injustice contrives to acquire the credit of liberality.'
