Supremacy of Law and Liberty in Dissenting Viewpoints
A critique argues against viewing the supremacy of law as a universal, unchangeable rule. It questions whether laws may be altered by bribery or passion and cites historical examples to claim civil liberty precedes and can resist laws that harm rights. The letter stresses a balanced constitution with checks among King, Lords, and Commons as essential to safety and liberty.

Washington Defeat Rumor Subject of Widespread Debate
An old correspondent challenges rumors that General Washington was defeated, arguing the tale rests on timing and wind inconsistencies. Letters from New York, Liverpool reports, and a Dublin toast list are cited to cast doubt on the October date and to question the authenticity of the intelligence used in the broader propaganda surrounding the war.
