Postscript on Parliament and the Rise of Place Seekers
A reflective critique of Parliament election in which the writer decries the spirit of parlamenteering among the gentry. He laments the money and effort spent to win seats, arguing it shows corruption and that former honesty vanished as men pursued places and pensions rather than public duty.
