A verbose polemic from JUNIUS criticizes Mr. Horne’s conduct and writings, defending Lord Chatham and Wilkes while attacking the Duke of G. and Horne. It discusses parliamentary reform, suspicions of signatures, and calls for consistency, with digressions on politics, virtue, and national policy. The piece also laments turnip husbandry's impact on meat and wheat markets, noting rising sheep prices and land use shifts.
