Petition and debate on taxes and representation in Britain 1778
A fragmented, satirical letter from Edward Newenham dated Aug 14 1778 urges electors to oppose a GENERAL LAND TAX before Christmas 1779. It attacks government pensions and corruption, calls for county meetings to petition the monarchy, and argues representatives must resist tax measures that favor ministers over the people.
