Description: The Bloody Buoy, Thrown Out as a Warning to the Political Pilots of America; or a Faithful Relation of a Multitude of Acts of Horrid Barbarity. By Peter Porcupine (William Cobbett) and printed in Paradise, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania by Henry Witmer. 1823 2nd edition, 116 pp, 8 x 5.25”, 8vo, hardcover original boards. In fair condition, with rubbing and leather to boards and spine, primarily along edges and corners. Cracking to hinges at front and back. Text block remains bound with minor wear. Contemporary pencil marginalia to front of book. Staining to some edges and corners. General age-related toning to pages, along with periodic foxing and wear. Please see photographs and ask any questions prior to purchasing. An extremely scarce Lancaster County, Pennsylvania imprint of a piece by William Cobbett (1763-1835). Known most of his influence in abolishing the “rotten boroughs” in Britain, Cobbett was also briefly a resident of the United States and was opposed to its democratic values, which he attacked in pamphlets like these. A wonderful piece for preservation and restoration. COLU1823EHLLFORN 0755 HKVAR1223
