Frugal Remonstrance Urges Humane Treatment of Prisoners
An Edinburgh Chronicle note from 1760 laments French actions and calls for a petition to remonstrate to the French court over the treatment of prisoners. It condemns sensational propaganda, urges humanity, and criticizes countrymen for pandering to deceitful factions amid war. It recalls 1707 famines and the broader calamities of Europe, urging steadfast resolve.
