Item Description

This pamphlet is a Tory lampoon which mocks the Whigs and Radicals. It suggests, particularly through the songs, that the Whigs and Radicals are not united, and that the Whig MP, Alexander Bannerman, who is given the position of the Chairman at this 'dinner', is a most ineffectual Member of Parliament. It also looks at corruption on the burgh council, but places the blame completely at the feet of the Whigs and Radicals. Each of the songs in this pamphlet has been recorded. You can listen to them by clicking on 'Songs'.
