Lively defence of Lord Chatham and critique of Wilkes
A political letter lauds Lord Chatham while railing against Wilkes and the Duke of Grafton. The writer defends refraining from personal attacks, condemns parliamentary manipulation, and argues for triennial parliaments as essential to constitutional freedom. The piece also mocks Horne and Tory conversion rhetoric, noting royal support shifts and the public’s cautious judgment.
