Letters from a Persian in England critique a political libel
A writer defends the government against a hostile pamphlet titled Letters from a Persian in England. He argues the piece misuses satire to attack the Constitution and Ministry, condemns its loose romance style, and contrasts it with the Turkish Spy as a model of credible authorship. He questions the Persian narrator’s authenticity and urges preservation of law and learning.
