Title: A LETTER FROM THE RT. HONOURABLE EDMUND BURKE TO HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF PORTLAND, ON THE CONDUCT OF THE MINORITY IN PARLIAMENT, CONTAINING FIFTY-FOUR ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST THE RT. HON. C.J. FOX. FROM THE ORIGINAL COPY, IN THE POSSESSION OF THE NOBLE DUKE

Description: Philadelphia: James Humphreys, 1797. iv, [5]-56 pp [as issued]. Stitched, untrimmed, generously margined, Very Good plus. According to the preliminary 'Advertisement by the Editor,' Burke sought to suppress this Letter; "not more than between seventy and eighty copies got abroad.- Whether this information be exact or not, certain it is, that the pamphlet is very scarce in England, and it is probable that not more than three or four copies have reached this country." [OCLC locates more than fifteen copies]. Burke denounces Fox, whose conduct in sympathy with the French Revolution "has given a strong countenance and an encouraging example to the doctrines and practices of the Revolution and Constitutional Societies," which are "proposing... leagues and alliances with France." FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. Evans 31894. Todd 67i.

Author: [Buell, Don Carlos]
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: [np, 1863. Original printed salmon-colored front wrapper, with wrapper title [as issued]. Stitched. 71, [1] pp. Lacking the rear wrapper, front wrapper with light extremity chipping, else Very Good. "Though strongly stated, Buell's testimony adds up to a fairly convincing defense of a bulk of his actions" [Nevins]. Buell's conduct at Shiloh in April 1862 had been controversial-- Buell thought he'd been the key to victory; but Halleck thought he was a dawdler. General Buell lost President Lincoln's confidence because, like McClellan, he "seemed more adept at framing excuses than taking action...Buell was not the general to march and fight while living off the country. When he made clear his intent to re-establish a base at Nashville instead of going after the rebels, Lincoln removed him and named William S. Rosecrans to command the renamed Army of the Cumberland" [McPherson, Battle Cry of Freedom 522]. Buell hoped that this military commission would exonerate him but... it didn't. I Nevins 24.
