Publisher's Synopsis
Opposition Mornings: With Betty's Remarks (1779) is a book written by Richard Tickell. The book is a collection of satirical poems and essays that were written during the time of the American Revolution. The poems and essays are critical of the British government and the war effort, and they often take aim at specific politicians and military leaders. The book is notable for its use of humor and wit to critique those in power, and for its portrayal of the common people as the true voice of reason and morality. Betty's Remarks, which are interspersed throughout the book, are fictional letters written by a working-class woman who provides her own commentary on the political events of the day. The book is considered an important work of political satire from the late 18th century, and it remains relevant today as a commentary on the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of dissent in a democratic society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
