The Petition of the Maltese to the House of Commons is a historical book written by Sigismondo Savona in 1880. The book is a letter addressed to the Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, in which the author presents a petition from the Maltese people to the House of Commons. The petition is a request for the British government to grant Malta the same constitutional rights and freedoms as those enjoyed by the citizens of Great Britain. Savona provides a detailed account of the history of Malta, including its occupation by the British in the early 19th century. He argues that the Maltese people have been unfairly treated by the British government, who have denied them the right to self-government and have imposed unjust taxes and laws. The book also includes a discussion of the political and social conditions in Malta at the time, including the role of the Catholic Church and the impact of British colonialism on the island's economy and culture. Overall, The Petition of the Maltese to the House of Commons is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggle for self-determination and political rights in Malta during the 19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Malta, British colonialism, and the fight for democracy and freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
