'The tree of liberty must be planted immediately!' NPG D12598

by James Gillray, published by Hannah Humphrey

The radical political writer and orator John Thelwall was largely self-educated. In 1792, he co-founded the London Corresponding Society, which campaigned for political reform and he was one of the members who were tried for treason and acquitted in 1794. He responded to the trial with the publication of The Natural and Constitutional Right of Britons to Annual Parliaments, Universal Suffrage, and the Freedom of Popular Association, 1795. After the society was outlawed in 1799, Thelwall became an elocution teacher.
