Light browning and soiling, a few minor chips and some rubbing to edges, three horizontal fold lines. A curious, rare item. $1,850. * The text of this anti-lawyer satirical broadside continues (in part): "The Public are particularly Cautioned against the depredations of the above-named FILTHY ANIMALS, as they are known to be peculiarly attached to that which is not their own:---i.e. 'Rates'." William Oram may have been the author of the broadside text. The imprint is fictitious, but the "Weddington Lane" in the title refers to a street in Warwickshire.

"Published in January of the year that England and the United States would finally agree on the Oregon Question, Twiss' book provided legal ammunition for England's claim to the territory north of the Columbia River. This is the counterpart to Greenhow'sMemoir (which is frequently attacked by Twiss). Twiss was a brilliant jurist, and if the Question had been left to technicalities of international law, England's claim might have carried the day with Twiss' guidance" (Givens, Oregon 100)
