London City Gates in Debate on Defense and Policy
In a Common Council speech the speaker argues for retaining city gates and walls as essential safeguards against uprisings and invasions. He cites Strype, Maitland, and history, warns of easier access if gates fall, and notes past crises from 1745 to civil conflicts, urging prudent defense and orderly Authority. He closes with a cautionary tone about future emergencies.
