A sammelband of seven political pamphlets from the pen of the satirist and champion of the free press, William Hone (1780-1842), with illustrations by George Cruickshank (1792-1878). Published in the wake of the Peterloo Massacre of August 1819, the pamphlets represent some of Hone’s most biting critique of political repression and tightening censorship laws under the Liverpool ministry.
