Wilkes and Liberty Triumph in London Street Debate
A provocative London Evening Post fragment recounts Wilkes's political career from his rise in 1762 to 1769. It notes his clash with Lord Bute, his seizure by a General Warrant, exile, multiple elections and expulsions, and the Parliamentary crowd’s support. The piece credits him with curbing press warrants and advancing liberty. It ends with a boast that Wilkes helped elect Lord Mayor Townsend.
