Observations on French liberty and English Puritans in 1798
An elegant writer notes the parallels between French liberty and the religion of a home state, stressing mutual dependence on the sword. The piece likens 1798 French Reformists to English Puritans under Charles II, with the fire and sword motif and the call for a godly thorough reformation. It also reports military officers facing horse-tax duties, arrears settled up to March 25, 1797, and punctual pay for staff on foreign duty. The School for Scandal cast notes two actors remaining in original roles after changes, while a patented engine promises rapid shoeing and a canal-towing machine for vessels.
