JUNIUS (PSEUDONYM OF SIR PHILIP FRANCIS)

The Letters of Junius, Complete in One Volume: A New Edition with a Copious Index

London: No Publisher Indicated, 1786. New Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. Publisher's full leather. This is a later edition (1786) of the collected letters of "Junius," first published in 1772. "Junius' poured brilliantly slanderous invective upon Tory-minded English ministers, especially the Duke of Grafton, for a series of inconsistent measures which allegedly ruined England and drove the colonies 'into excesses little short of rebellion.' Vehement, lucid, frequently reprinted in English and colonial newspapers, the letters were polemical masterpieces with such extraordinary knowledge and appreciation of contemporary colonial opinion that they lent moral support to the early revolutionary cause. 'Junius' opposed the Tea Duty, but upheld the legality of the Stamp Act, and prophesied (Dec. 19, 1769) that the colonies aimed at independence" - Dictionary of American History. Upper board missing, spine cracked, some foxing. Reading/binding copy only. POOR. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. 394 pp. Poor with no dust jacket .

LONG, RAY

The House That Madigan Built: The Record Run of Illinois' Velvet Hammer

Urbana & Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 2022. 0252044479. 1st Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. ISBN: 0252044479. Michael Madigan rose from the Chicago machine to hold unprecedented power as Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives. In his thirty-six years wielding the gavel, Madigan outlasted governors, passed or blocked legislation at will, and outmaneuvered virtually every attempt to limit his reach. Veteran reporter Ray Long draws on four decades of observing state government to provide the definitive political analysis of Michael Madigan. Secretive, intimidating, shrewd--Madigan mesmerized his admirers and often left his opponents too beaten down to oppose him. Long vividly recreates the battles that defined the Madigan era, from stunning James Thompson with a lightning-strike tax increase, to pressing for a pension overhaul that ultimately failed in the courts, to steering the House toward the Rod Blagojevich impeachment. Long also shines a light on the machinery that kept the Speaker in power. But Madigan’s position as the state’s seemingly invulnerable power broker could not survive scandals among his close associates and the widespread belief that his time as Speaker had finally reached its end.Unsparing and authoritative, The House That Madigan Built is the page-turning account of one the most powerful politicians in Illinois history.. Both the volume and the unclipped ($29.95) dust jacket are in excellent condition; unmarked, tight, square, and clean. FINE/FINE.. Photographs.
