Bag om Three Interesting Tracts

""Three Interesting Tracts"" is a collection of three political essays written by John Wilkes in 1767. The first tract, ""Observations On The Papers Relative To The Rupture With Spain"", is a commentary on the diplomatic dispute between Great Britain and Spain over the Falkland Islands. The second tract, ""A Letter To The Electors Of Aylesbury"", is a political address in which Wilkes appeals to the citizens of Aylesbury to support his candidacy for the House of Commons. The third tract, ""A Letter To His Grace The Duke Of Grafton"", is a letter addressed to the Prime Minister of Great Britain, in which Wilkes criticizes the government's policies and calls for reform. These three tracts provide a fascinating insight into the political and social climate of 18th century Britain, and demonstrate John Wilkes' skill as a writer and political commentator.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
