The Whig Club: Or A Sketch Of Modern Patriotism (1794)

By Charles Pigott

Book Overview

The Whig Club: Or A Sketch Of Modern Patriotism is a book written by Charles Pigott in 1794. The book is a political satire that critiques the Whig Club, a group of politicians and aristocrats who were known for their support of the American Revolution and their opposition to the policies of King George III. Pigott's book takes the form of a series of letters written by a fictional character named Jack Whig, who is a member of the Whig Club. Through Jack's letters, Pigott satirizes the hypocrisy and corruption of the Whig Club, and exposes their true motivations for supporting the American Revolution. The book also includes a number of political cartoons, which further illustrate Pigott's criticisms of the Whig Club. The cartoons depict the members of the club as greedy and self-serving, and suggest that their support for the American Revolution was driven by their desire for personal gain, rather than a genuine commitment to liberty and democracy. Overall, The Whig Club: Or A Sketch Of Modern Patriotism is a biting critique of the Whig Club and their political agenda. It is an important work of political satire from the late 18th century, and provides valuable insights into the political and social climate of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
