No Binding. Condición: Very Good. Rare Georgian political broadside printing an exchange between T. H. Liddell and J. G. Lambton, later Earl of Durham, originally dated February 1820.

Although the exchange dates from 1820, this broadside appears to have circulated within the wider political context of the Northumberland election struggles of the 1820s, especially the famous 1826 contest involving Lord Howick, Matthew Bell, H. T. Liddell, and T. W. Beaumont. No separate institutional copy traced in the British Library, Library Hub Discover, or WorldCat.
