Summary (extracted citations)
Introduction refers to, "The malevolent attempt made by the Author of the 'Reflections on the Revolution in France, and on certain Societies in London, relative to that Event', in order to provoke the resentment of Administration against the Revolution Society, on account of their Congratulatory Address to the National Assembly, has been treated by them with that silent disregard its futility deserves…"
Notes
275pp compilation of texts by and to the London Revolution Society.
The Introduction explains the motive for publication as desire to defend the Society against accusation of "impropriety and irregularity in their conduct", specifically against the malevolent attempt of the author of 'Reflections on the french Revolution' (ie Edmund Burke) to arouse hostility towards it. Wishes to lay the entire Correspondence before the Public – "It must speak for itself". Moreover, the Society's books are open to public inspection at Mr [Benjamin] Cooper's, their Secretary, at No.15, Clement's Lane.
