British Pamphleteers Vol. 1
George Orwell (as Editor)

British Pamphleteers, Volume 1: 'From the 16th Century the 18th Century' - Editors: George Orwell and Reginald Reynolds.

From Daniel J. Leab (one of the owners):
Orwell, although in quite poor health, had written the introduction for this volume in the Spring of 1947. Reynolds - a Quaker, a pacifist, a supporter of the ILP and of the non-Communist Republicans in Spain - had worked with Orwell on his talks to India. Although they did seem to consult on the contents (Orwell had some suggestions), he said that Reynolds - then in his early 40s - "compiled and arranged this book." A second volume with which Orwell had little to do appeared in 1951. This introduction gave Orwell a chance to play with his ideas about pamphlets and once more to decry the "decay" of the English Language.
