[Tickell, Richard]:

COMMON-PLACE ARGUMENTS AGAINST ADMINISTRATION, WITH OBVIOUS ANSWERS, (INTENDED FOR THE USE OF THE NEW PARLIAMENT.) THE SECOND EDITION.

London: R. Faulder, 1780. viii, [3], 10-101, [1 blank] pp, but lacking the half title. Disbound. Except as noted, Very Good.

This is the second of six 1780 printings. Tickell excoriates "the most infamous, slavish, base, sordid, venal, mean, inconsistent, despicable parliament, that ever existed;" as well as "that administration which has robbed us of thirteen colonies, and plunged us in a shameful and calamitous war with the whole world." As Adams notes, the work "contains a number of references to the war in America," and criticism of British policies.
