Three Interesting Tracts is a collection of three political essays written by John Wilkes in 1767. The first tract, Observations On The Papers Relative To The Rupture With Spain, is a commentary on the diplomatic dispute between Great Britain and Spain over the Falkland Islands. The second tract, A Letter To The Electors Of Aylesbury, is a political address in which Wilkes appeals to the citizens of Aylesbury to support his candidacy for the House of Commons. The third tract, A Letter To His Grace The Duke Of Grafton, is a letter addressed to the Prime Minister of Great Britain, in which Wilkes criticizes the government's policies and calls for reform. These three tracts provide a fascinating insight into the political and social climate of 18th century Britain, and demonstrate John Wilkes' skill as a writer and political commentator.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
