The Daily Post Preface to a Paris Plot Exposé
An early 18th century letter to the painter of the Daily Post urges insertion of a Preface about a French ministerial plot. The writer claims French ministers attempt to abduct Britons, including references to Louvois Dangervilliers and a captive in Amsterdam, with potential execution in the Hague. He asserts bravery in exposing these acts and vows further revelations in six months, defending Britain’s honor against French designs.
