Contempt of Opposition and Royal Kitchen Critique
A continuation of The Political Dictionary denounces a pitiful method of furnishing the Royal Kitchen and profligate royal spending. It condemns ministerial moderation and the dismissal of officials from Newcastle and Pitt’s administrations, and argues acts encroach on subject liberty and property. The piece denounces arbitrary ministerial dictates and mercenary advocates.

Liberty and Property in a Time of Tyranny
A fragmented political pamphlet excerpt condemns forcible entry, arbitrary taxation, and war as threats to liberty. It denounces ministers and favourites for selling national interests, praises prudence and humanity, and urges resistance to arrogance and oppression while preserving English dignity. The text, attributed to Owen's Chron, targets abuses by ministers and a proud court.
