Speech of the Rt. Hon. George Canning, Delivered at the Liverpool Dinner, Given in Celebration of His Re-Election, March 18, 1820, George Canning — 2nd Edition

Publication: London, Printed by Cox and Baylis and Published at the Guardian Office, 1820

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 32.

Condition Report: Very Good. The pamphlet is presented with a blue paper spine reinforcement and a plain blue rear wrapper, fully protected in a clear archival sleeve. The front outer wrapper exhibits moderate toning and scattered foxing, along with a contemporary ownership signature inscribed at the upper margin. Internally, the text block remains firm and legible; the pages are lightly age-toned with occasional minor spotting, yet entirely free of major tears, structural markings, or significant blemishes. A sound and pleasing survivor for a delicate piece of early nineteenth-century ephemera.

Catalogue Note: This Second Edition, revised and corrected, captures the notable speech given by the celebrated Tory statesman following his re-election in Liverpool. It was rushed to press to satisfy public demand for Canning’s oratorical defence of the British Constitution during a period of intense political unrest.

The pamphlet remains unillustrated and features a standard previous ownership signature to the front cover. It survives as a scarce piece of early nineteenth-century political ephemera, with very few copies of this specific edition currently appearing on the open market.

George Canning, one of Britain's most gifted political figures who would later briefly serve as Prime Minister, delivered this rousing speech to his Liverpool constituents in March 1820. In it, he vehemently defends the constitutional establishment against the rising tide of radical reform and popular unrest. This historical pamphlet offers readers a firsthand look at the rhetorical brilliance and conservative philosophy of a defining statesman of the Georgian era.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
