Objections to the Livery Queries on London Rotation
A reader replies to the Daily Advertiser author, challenging his “Queries address’d to the Liverymen of the City of London.” He argues against an established rotation for the Lord Mayor, defends annual elections, and criticizes the notion of preserving peace by a fixed rotation, calling the author’s scheme chimerical and provocative toward the Court and Aldermen. The letter ends with defiant support for the Liverymen’s rights.
