Remarks on the reign of Richard the Second
A dated critical piece argues that English liberty waned not from princes alone but from ministers. It describes Parliament’s refusal to tolerate tyranny, the hanging of Lord Chief Justice Treby and others, and the ensuing manipulation of sheriffs and borough officers to secure royal favor. The author notes the tender king’s age and the Parliament’s efforts to preserve royal prerogative while condemning ministerial influence.
