The Publick Oppression and Ancient Government
A letter to the printer discusses public oppression and the nature of government from ancient Egypt to early monarchies. It argues liberty requires governance, warns against tyranny from legal power and from fake patriots, and stresses checks by magistrates and public consent. The essay traces origins of rule, citations to antiquity, and how early rulers were guided by law and petition.
