First edition, second state with "Price 1s" at bottom of title page. Knox was the Under-Secretary of State for American Affairs. He makes a bracingly honest argument for suppression of the rebellion: "Give up the authority of Parliament, and there is an end to your trade, and a total loss of your property."
