	[SEABURY, SAMUEL] (1729-1796), The Congress Canvassed: or, an Examination into the Conduct of the Delegates at Their Grand Convention, held in Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1774, Addressed to the Merchants of New-York, By A. W. Farmer, Author of Free Thoughts, &c. London Richardson and Urquhart, 1775. F First English Edition. 12mo (19.75 cm), Hardcover, Hard Cover, Near Fine. Rare English edition of this important work sometimes jointly attributed to Seabury and to Isaac Wilkins (1742-1830). A brilliant attack on the first Continental Congress, showing the illogic of the arguments that the king and his ministers are evil and the Parliament good, and correctly predicting that the Parliament would eventually back the king and that war would result. Alexander Hamilton's first work, "A Full Vindication of the Measures of Congress, &c.", written while he was only seventeen years of age, was published in response, and indeed Seabury notes in a postscript that he is "neither frightened nor disconcerted by it". Seabury was perhaps the pre-eminent exponent of Tory thought in America at the time, and the political exchanges between Seabury and Hamilton were some of the most contentious of the Revolutionary era. Modern binding by Stikeman & Co., three quarter deep blue morocco over lighter blue cloth, gilt spine lettering, [4], 59p. The English edition is much enlarged over the American edition and does not include the page of advertising at the end. Binding has just a touch of shelfwear, good hinges, firm binding.

	[SEABURY, SAMUEL] (1729-1796), The Congress Canvassed: or, an Examination into the Conduct of the Delegates at Their Grand Convention, held in Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1774, Addressed to the Merchants of New-York, By A. W. Farmer, Author of Free Thoughts, &c. London Richardson and Urquhart, 1775. F First English Edition. 12mo (19.75 cm), Hardcover, Hard Cover, Near Fine. Rare English edition of this important work sometimes jointly attributed to Seabury and to Isaac Wilkins (1742-1830). A brilliant attack on the first Continental Congress, showing the illogic of the arguments that the king and his ministers are evil and the Parliament good, and correctly predicting that the Parliament would eventually back the king and that war would result. Alexander Hamilton's first work, "A Full Vindication of the Measures of Congress, &c.", written while he was only seventeen years of age, was published in response, and indeed Seabury notes in a postscript that he is "neither frightened nor disconcerted by it". Seabury was perhaps the pre-eminent exponent of Tory thought in America at the time, and the political exchanges between Seabury and Hamilton were some of the most contentious of the Revolutionary era. Modern binding by Stikeman & Co., three quarter deep blue morocco over lighter blue cloth, gilt spine lettering, [4], 59p. The English edition is much enlarged over the American edition and does not include the page of advertising at the end. Binding has just a touch of shelfwear, good hinges, firm binding.
