The North Briton V1-2 is a two-volume collection of political essays written by John Wilkes and published in 1766. The essays were originally published as a weekly newspaper, The North Briton, which Wilkes founded in 1762. The essays were highly critical of the British government and its policies, and were often seen as seditious and inflammatory. In fact, Wilkes was arrested and imprisoned for his writings, and his house was raided by government agents who seized his papers and printing press. Despite these challenges, Wilkes continued to publish The North Briton and other works, and became a symbol of resistance to government tyranny. The North Briton V1-2 includes a selection of Wilkes’ most famous essays, as well as an introduction and notes by the editor. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the political and social climate of 18th century Britain, and the struggle for free speech and press freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
