The Case of Ireland is being bound by Acts of Parliament in England Molyneux, William. (of Dublin), Printed for John Hay 1776 with three other pamphlets bound in - 'The Letters of Gautimozin on the Affairs of Ireland as first published in the Freeman’s Journal and which having been since reprinted in London, have gone through several editions there. To which are added, The Letters of Causidicus that accompanied the Essays of Guatimozin in their first appearance,' (Frederick Jebb, Sir Cecil Wray), Belfast, 1779. 84p.

Jebb was appointed assistant Master at the Rotunda Lying-in Hospital. Fear of foreign invasion had necessitated the raising of the Irish Volunteers, and Jebb allowed them to exercise in the Rotunda gardens. His mastership coincided with a period of heightened political tension, to which Jebb contributed in a series of letters under the pseudonyms ‘Causidicus’ and ‘Guatimozin’, which were published in the Freeman's Journal in April, May, and July 1779, and later as a pamphlet, The letters of Guatimozin (Dublin, Belfast, and London, 1779). Described as a ‘red-hot patriot’ Jebb passionately asserted the right of Ireland to parliamentary independence; 'An Essay on Civil Liberty: or the Principles of the Revolution vindicated, delivered before the University of Cambridge on Wednesday, May 29, 1776', Richard Watson, 24pp; and 'Windsor and its environs containing the curiosities of the Town and Palace, the Royal Chapel of St. George and the seats in the neighbourhood of Windsor with a particular account of the Ceremonies of Installation of the Knights of the Garter.' To which is added a Description of the Palace and Gardens at Hampton Court, 1774, 96pp.
