Twelve Quarters Address to London Citizens
A lengthy handbill from an "Antient Briton" criticizes the government’s ministers, lauds the king’s accession, and urges London’s Common Council to defend liberty and avoid corrupt influence. It questions press freedom, laments ministerial patronage, and laments political manipulation in the City. The piece also includes a provincial note on butter scarcity and domestic policy.
