A Letter From John Wilkes On Middlesex Seat Dispute
The author exhorts Speaker Fletcher Norton to rescind the May 1769 resolution that bars Henry Luttrell from Parliament, arguing the House usurps liberty and endangers English rights. He condemns ministerial tyranny and warns of dangerous precedent if not corrected. Also includes an antiquated travel note from Malta describing Grand Master Pinta and local customs.
