Stockdale,, 1812 FIRST EDITION, pp (2), 371, (1, blank) ; 118 and errata leaf, 8vo, contemporary half calf, with label, gilt : binding little worn at corners, but sound and strong, otherwise very good. Dickson (1744-1824), the personification of 18C Presbyterian radicalism : he denounced England's treatment of the American colonies, 1776, was an enthusiastic Volunteer, eloquent advocate of political reform and Catholic emancipation and, apparently, a key figure in the military plans of the Co Down United Irishmen. Arrested just before the insurrection of 1798, he spent almost four years in prison without being charged (OCIH).
