A London tale of a father and his avarice son
A London Evening Post fragment recounts a tale of a wholesale trader who makes his elder son buy all goods from him and later demands an annuity for his spendthrift brother. The elder resists, is jailed, freed by friends, and the mother’s plotting collapses, leaving the father ruined while the son prospers. The writer contrasts this with discontent over British colonial policy and criticizes clergy excess and ecclesiastical abuses while urging reform.
