Famed for his masterful oratory and fearless criticism of parliamentary opponents, William Pitt the Elder (1708-78) distinguished himself through the strong leadership he provided during Britain's struggle against France in the Seven Years' War. Edited by his great-grandsons and first published between 1838 and 1840, this four-volume collection presents nearly forty years' worth of letters to and from the great statesman. Each volume also contains a useful list of the principal officers of state for the period covered, along with facsimile plates of letters and signatures by some of Pitt's eminent correspondents. Volume 1 (1838) covers the period 1741-59, although most of the letters date from 1754 onwards. Pitt's early political career saw him launch attacks on Sir Robert Walpole, contributing to the latter's resignation in 1742. Once Pitt had himself taken up the reins of power, the annus mirabilis of 1759 marked a high point of his wartime strategy

A True and impartial state of the province of Pennsylvania : Containing, an exact account of the nature of its government
; the power of the proprietaries, and their governors ; as well those which they derive under the royal grant, as those they
have assumed in manifest violation thereof, their father's charter, and the rights of the people: also, the rights and privileges
of the Assembly, and people, which they claim under the said grant, charter, and laws of their country, confirmed by the royal
approbation. : With a true narrative of the dispute between the governors and assemblies, respecting the grants of supplies
so often made by the latter, and rejected by the former. In which is demonstrated, by incontestable vouchers, that arbitrary
proprietary instructions, have been the true and only cause of the refusal of such supplies, and the late defenceless state
of the province. : The whole being a full answer to the pamphlets intitled A brief state, and A brief view, &c. of the conduct
of Pennsylvania. : [Nine lines from Cato's letters] by
