Satirical Letters on Politics and Theatre of the Mid 18th Century
A compilation of letters and notices from the London press lampooning ministry factions, the Favourite, and public manners. Included are editorials praising a witty correspondent, debates about political influence, and mock critiques of poetry and classical references. Numerous notices describe society events, court visits, races, weather, and shipping from 1765. The tone blends satire with routine public notices.
