Political satirical pamphlets inflame excise debate in England
The text critiques merchants and tradesmen mobilizing against proposed duties shifting from customs to excise. It mocks writings and ballads that shape public opinion, questions the administration’s intent, and argues against a general excise including wines and tobacco. It also reports Lisbon, Rome, and Paris notices on nobility, church matters, and political affairs of late December to January.
