A letter É to a noble Lord, on the attacks made upon him and his pension, in the House of Lords. By the Duke of Bedford and the Earl of Lauderdale, early in the present sessions of Parliament.

London: J. Owen, 1796. First edition, 8vo, pp. [2], 80; bound without the half-title in recent black calf-backed marbled boards, gilt lettered direct on spine; very good. Says Todd: "The most rapid, impetuous, glowing, and sportive of all Burke's works É Once published the Letter É immediately went through so many impressions, with so few alterations from printing to printing, that it is exceedingly difficult to distinguish the variants, especially since the most obvious one - the edition label - appears only on half-titles now usually discarded." This copy exhibits Todd's earliest textual readings. Todd 65a. Item #23682
