Broadside.- [Lee (Richard)] Proclamation. Equality Liberty Fraternity, broadside, double column, woodcut 'Tree of Liberty' printer's device at head, woodcut motifs, including a broken crowns above imprint, folds, a few small stains, light creasing, [Richard Lee] at the Tree of Liberty, [?1795].⁂ Exceedingly rare. ESTC records only one copy (BL). Richard Citizen Lee (c.1774-97), English dissenting poet, and radical printer for the London Corresponding Society, who had, according to government intelligence, previously worked for the radical author Daniel Eaton. His British 'Tree of Liberty' imprint, the name taken one would imagine from the Elm in Boston where American Revolutionists gathered, produced violently radical pamphlets and broadsides from 1794-1795. Indeed, the imprint advertises no fewer than 16 'Patriotic Publications', ranging in price from one penny to 1s.Lee was convicted of publishing 'seditious pamphlets', but escaped from prison in London and fled to America. Soon after he reappeared in radical print culture in Philadelphia, as editor of the pro-French American Universal Magazine. It is not difficult to see why Lee's radical profile was too evident for British authorities not to act. The present broadside, which implores readers to 'Unite! Persevere! and be Free!', attacks established religion, the monarchy, the government and the economic order as 'Terror, Slavery and Oppression' explicitly references the motto of the French revolutionary, and, as a sub-heading, Paine's 'RIGHTS OF MAN'. He also rails against war and imperialism and the slave trade.

It offered its reader, exhausted by the horrors of the First World War and fearful of the next, an escape into the imaginary lands of Middle Earth, travelling with them through the Shire, Rivendell and Mirkwood, leading to the climatic confrontation with the dragon Smaug under the Lonely Mountain. The Hobbit proved wildly popular and had completely sold out by December of the same year. The second impression soon followed, with a print run of 2300 copies, including new additions of colour plates and additional maps. The second printing bears the same date of publication “1937” on the titlepage and is often misidentified as the first edition of the work.Its popularity grew steadily on a global scale since its publication, with numerous editions published, and radio and television versions realised as far afield as Finland. In 2012-2014 it was once again honoured as a seminal work of fantasy literature, in Peter Jackson’s trilogy of film adaptations.As the work was intended to be book for children, few first edition copies emerge in the same outstanding condition as the present example.
