| Publisher Description: Originally published in 1940, this book presents the content of a July 1681 pamphlet created in opposition to widespread discontent over Charles II's dissolution of Whig Parliaments in 1679 and 1681. Attributed by the editor to George Savile, 1st Marquess of Halifax, the text was a direct response to A Letter from a Person of Quality to his Friend Concerning His Majesties Late Declaration, an anti-dissolution pamphlet created in April 1681. An editorial introduction and bibliography are included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in British history and seventeenth-century history. |
