Philips, Francis, 1771-1850
Peterloo collection
<p style='text-align: justify;'> Calumnies concerning the Peterloo Massacre. First ed. probably no earlier than October 1819. This book accuses radicals of circulating lies and wilfully misrepresenting the Magistrates and the Yeomanry. Edward John Taylor, founder of the Manchester Guardian published a pamphlet, Notes and Observations, challenging these claims the following year. </p>
