(ESTC T554) (Adams, 76-118q) (Sabin 65452)A Note on Format: Adams and Sabin record this pamphlet as an octavo but the ESTC records it as a duodecimo. On this pamphlet, the chain lines are horizontal, leading us to side with the ESTC's assessment. Good plus. The Welsh philosopher, preacher, and political pamphleteer Richard Price (1723-1791) became something of a celebrity with the publication of his enormously popular, Observations on the Nature of Civil Liberty. Printed near the start of the American Revolutionary War, Observations lent support to the American colonies. Within days of the first publication nearly 60 thousand pamphlets sold out, with more than 15 more editions to follow. The pamphlet played a formative role in America's decision to declare independence. (Wikipedia).
