Cicero and Pitt on public virtue vs. Spanish depredation
A polemic links Cicero’s Offices to British policy, praising prudence and justice while condemning Spain for injuring British subjects and seizing the Antigallican privateer. It cites Pitt and Plutarch, contrasts public duty with private gain, and laments Spanish trespasses in wartime, urging firm action and alliance.
