Debates Over Canning Burdett Duel Stirring London
A 1821 column riffs on Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Canning with mock quarrel, Sydney-style bravado, and sharp social satire. It notes Canning's Paris trip for Lambton’s April motion, questions his readiness to duel, and mocks his later naval promotion while lampooning political lines and public sentiment. Also includes official notice about coronation proclamations prompting City muster of constables and aldermen.
