''Franklin Before The Privy Council, White Hall Chapel, London, 1774: On Behalf Of The Province Of Massachusetts, To Advocate The Removal Of Hutchinson And Oliver'' by Israel Mauduit is a historical account of Benjamin Franklin’s appearance before the Privy Council in London in 1774. Franklin was representing the Province of Massachusetts and advocating for the removal of Thomas Hutchinson and Andrew Oliver, two officials who were seen as oppressive and unjust to the colonists. The book provides a detailed description of the events leading up to Franklin’s appearance, as well as the arguments he made before the council. It also includes transcripts of the speeches made by both Franklin and his opponents during the hearing. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the politics and tensions of the time, as well as the role played by Franklin as a key figure in the American Revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
