Address on Manpower and Minorca Crisis in 1757 England
A London Evening-Post excerpted address urges public duty amid the Minorca loss and colonial neglect, praising the new administration for enacting militia reform, cutting expenses, and restoring confidence, while cautioning against hasty removal of trusted ministers. It cites Barbadoes news, naval movements, prisoner tallies, and political appointments, ending with reflections on justice and governance.
