[Wilson]

A Short View of the Inconveniencies of War;

With some observations on the expediency of peace: in a letter to a friend.

Description: FIRST EDITION, slightly browned, pp. [iv], 45, [1], 8vo, disbound, becoming loose

Publication Details: Printed for J.S. Jordan, 1796

Notes: The attribution to one Wilson is via a pencil inscription on the title-page. This in turn may stem from the reference at the end of the letter to Jasper Wilson's (this being one of the noms de plume of James Currie) 'Letter Commercial and Political... addressed to Pitt', 1793, but it would not appear that this author of the present Letter is really to be identified with Currie. Whoever it was, he (assuming he) was a Radical, as the choice of printer indicates - Jordan took over Paine's Rights of Man from Joseph Johnson....moreThe attribution to one Wilson is via a pencil inscription on the title-page.
