13 AMERICA. [HANWAY (JONAS)] COMMON SENSE: In Nine Conferences. Between a British Merchant and a Candid Merchant of America, in their private capacities as friends; tracing the several causes of the present contests between the Mother Country and her American subjects, &c. London: Sold by J. Dodsley, and Brotherton and Sewel, 1775. FIRST EDITION, 4to., very fine large copy, contemporary marbled calf, rebacked, £10 10s

*This very rare work is one of the most important writings of that voluminous author Jonas Hanway, traveller, philanthropist, and first user of the umbrella. In it he defends Great Britain's attitude towards the American Colonies, with interesting references to the Boston Tea Party, the New Englanders and their views in relation to the British Government, their efforts to get the Canadians into alliance with them, the assistance given to the citizens of Montreal after the great fire in 1765, the Navigation Act, the form of government of the Massachusetts Bay, &c. It is curious to reflect that all the reasons put forward by Hanway against the secession of the American Colonies from the Mother Country have, in the light of later events, proved absolutely futile.
