Letter to the Craftman on Corruption From the Printer
A printer writes to a noble lord about corruption in a London journal. He warns that neglecting strong type will mute truth, urges repeating the theme three times per issue, and critiques ministers, the court, and political factions while praising loyalty and liberty. The missive blends satire with political attack, naming figures and urging bold presses to reveal corruption.
