(2) Writers of Political Pamphlets
In the following short list of selected political pamphlets are not included
books or essays belonging to the domains of political science or philosophy,
for which see bibliography to chapter 1, ante. Nor are letters, whether
with actual or with pseudonymous signatures, noted, except in the case of
pamphlets taking the form of an open letter or series of letters; and no
attempt has been made to enumerate political contributions in the shape
of letters to newspapers or other periodicals. Among political and social
questions which, more especially when they drew near to a settlement,
pressed heavily upon the mind of the public, and, accordingly, led to a more
or less copious production of pamphlet literature, were catholic emancipa-
tion, the currency question, the reform bill, the poor law amendment act
and its sequels, the invasion panics of the early fifties and the European war
which followed. The national debt, and the general question of the state of
the nation, we have had with us throughout the nineteenth century, and, on
these subjects, frequent periodical comments in pamphlet-form have, also,

Indian government called forth much comment, generally in pseudonymous
pamphlet form.
