First to last, rabble-rousing publications (8)
I believe the answer is:
editions
'publications' is the definition.
(edition is a kind of publication)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for editions that I've seen before include "Numbers" , "Copies of book about sedition" , "Book published at different times" , "written publications?" , "Impressions given!" .)
