Title: The Blessings of Boroughmongering. A Sketch of the Borough of Minehead.
Description: Chard: printed by J. Toms, c. 1832. 8vo. pp. 8. No wrappers as issued. BL dates this at 1875, but as it is clearly a polemic against Rotten Boroughs and J. F. Luttrell, the sitting Member for Minehead 1812 - 1831, it must date to the elections of 1832, following the Reform Bill when the rotten borough of Minehead was incorporated into the new wider constituency of West Somerset. Luttrell lost his seat.
