Rebellion, loyalty, and empire collide on the printed page in Charles Lempriere's penetrating examination of the American crisis. Pamphlets are battles on paper. The American Crisis Considered stands as a classic political pamphlet and historical political essay, written when anglo american relations were being remade and the shape of an early United States history was still uncertain. From a distinctly British perspective on America, Lempriere weighs the arguments, anxieties and hopes surrounding american crisis politics, tracing the clash between imperial authority and colonial self-assertion with a cool, learned eye. For readers of Thomas Paine, this early american history treatise offers a revealing counterpart: less fiery, perhaps, but rich in context, rhetoric and the assumptions of its age. As a primary source for historians and an illuminating reference for history students, this charles lempriere american essay opens a rare window onto british american relations history and the mental world of the late eighteenth century. Casual readers discover a vivid, compact portrait of political opinion at a turning point; collectors gain a cornerstone document in the literature of anglo american relations. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
