Pickpocket Protest and Public Beckoning for Rewards
A 1763 letter advocates harsh measures against common pickpockets in London. It proposes rewards on conviction for any successful apprehension, bearing costs by the public, and suggests local subscriptions at coffee houses to fund a city-wide purge of theft. References to theaters, clubs, and pockets show widespread street crime concerns of the era.

Contrast and Dissenters in Tory Rule Across England
A long polemic argues that religious liberty is threatened by venal dissenters who align with vanity and power. It links Presbyterian proscription, Cromwellian tyranny, and James II to condemn dissenters who favor courtiers and ministers for pay, urging them toward liberty and away from tolerance of presbyterianism.
