About This Item
London: William Hone, 1817. [16]p, printed in double column and 'paginated' per column. Disbound from a pamphlet volume, torn to spine leaving first page just clinging on, final advertisement page detached, pages chipped to edges and lightly browned. The Spa Fields meetings had been organised by followers of Thomas Spence, the first in November 1816 had passed off peacefully, the second in December of 1816, had developed into a ineffectual attempt at a revolution, with several Spenceans raiding a gunsmiths and briefly exchanging gunfire with some soldiers. After this John Hooper, Thomas Preston, Arthur Thistlewood (later hanged for his part in the Cato Street Plot), and James Watson, were arrested and charged with high treason, though later released. This third meeting was again addressed by Henry Hunt, and another attempt to petition the Commons was resolved. The final part deals with the arrest of several Spenceans after the second meeting, including Watson, Preston, and both Thomas Evans and his son. First Edition. Unbound. Fair. 8vo. Pamphlet.
