Title: Facts of Importance Relative to the Present State of Great Britain.
Description: London: Printed for F. and C. Rivington..., 1800. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 8vo, 210 x 128 mms., pp, [iv], 42, disbound; title-page almost detached. Inscribed on top margin of title-page "Earl of Altamont/ with Mr Wakefield's compliments." A pencil note attributes the work to David Wakefield, as does ESTC, but the author is more likely to be the barrister and writer on political economy Daniel Wakefield (1776 - 1846), whose mother was the author Priscilla Wakefield (1750–1832), and his elder brother was the philanthropist Edward Wakefield (1774–1854), and his nephew, Edward Gibbon Wakefield (1796–1862), founder of the National Colonisation Society. Goldsmiths', 1787. ESTC T61518 locates copies in BL, Senate House, and St. Patrick's Library; and Columbia, Harvard, Penn State, and Yale in the United States. ESTC also notes that Jeremy Bentham had a copy in his library, with ms. annotations, but doesn't give the location of the copy.
