[Unrecorded Pamphlet]

Austin (John Valentine, Rev.) A Letter to Benjamin Caunt, of Hucknall Torkard, on Prize Fighting, signature of ‘Mr Willowes Wright’ to title page, 8pp. sewn pamphlet, some splitting to spine, some spotting, printed by J. Hicklin, Nottingham, 1838.

***It seems that Austin had a few preconceptions regarding his open letter’s addressee: “To judge from the profession which you have taken up, I must naturally imagine you to be an ignorant man; but even supposing that you are able to read and understand this letter, I fear that it will produce but little good effect on you.”
