Public vent on a pamphlet author and law reform
VERAX replies to Sir R A with a sharp critique of a recent pamphlet’s libel and the author’s motives. The letter challenges perjury claims and defends magistrates, praising Lord Mansfield, Affton, and Woodfall while attacking the pamphleteer’s vanity. It closes with a long anecdote on game laws and a call to repeal oppressive statutes.
