A 1780 plea urges every independent citizen to unite for sweeping reforms to curb royal influence, shorten Parliament, add county Knights, and secure annual elections. It details a plan of financial scrutiny, expanded county representation, and broad support from freeholders to ensure independent, economical governance.
