Good-VG. 16.5 Cms x 23 Cms. f/piece (engr. of Mercury by W.Sharp)+liv+(4)+739+(1)(Addendum), pub.lists on endpapers and pastedowns. A nice copy, f/piece offset onto t.p. as usual, otherwise internally clean, tight & unmarked, fr. end-gutter split but quite secure, v.sl.splitting to rear end-gutter of little significance. The elaborately blind-stamped covers are now of an indeterminate brownish colour but have originally been purple or mauve, clean, corners sl.bumped, top sp.v.slightly rubbed, cloth starting to split along lower of third front joint.

Horne loved battles of wits and legal maneuvering, and he sympathized with every cause for liberty, including the French Revolution, and the independence of the American Colonies. Wilkes and Horne later came to bitter disagreement and fought a war of 'Letters'. The redoubtable Junius entered the controversy on Wilkes's side.
