A defence of the ancient, legal, and constitutional, right of the people, to elect representatives for every session of Parliament;, viz. not only "every year once," but also "more often if need be:" as expressly required in the old statute, and confirmed by the general usage of ancient times, demonstrated by the evidence of the original writs for election: in a letter to a member of the Surry Committee., by Granville Sharp.
The legal means of political reformation proposed in two small tracts, viz.: the first on "Equitable representation" and the legal means of obtaining it (1777) ; the second on "Annual parliaments, the ancient and most salutary right of the people" (1774) ; to which are added, A letter to a Member of the Surry Committee, in Defence of the Right of the People ... ; and A circular letter to the federal petitioning counties ... to warn them against the late proposition for triennial elections (1780)
