Revival of Oldcaustle s Liberty Letter in Craftman
A correspondent reproduces Mr. Oldcastle s long letter to Mr. Danvers from the Craftman. The text defends liberty of thought and writing against ministry influence, with acrimonious attacks on opponents, threats to hang the ministry, and calls for rebellion if persuasion fails. The piece shifts to Governor Johnson of South Carolina’s inaugural speech, praising royal purchase of most Proprietors’ rights, urging laws against immorality, promoting public schools, and promising support for provincial prosperity.
