Considerations on Governing by a Party and Publick Employments
A polemic rebutts a Craftman’s claim that governance by party corrupts offices. The writer contrasts past reigns, questions the scale and fairness of “employments of profit,” and mocks the proposal that one party could sequentially hold all offices. He doubts the plan’s feasibility and warns of misapplied zeal. The piece critiques Whigs and Tories and challenges the author’s motives and accuracy.
