English fickleness and royal severity in the Gazeteser review
In the Gazeteser from Literary Chronicle August 27, a discussion rebuts the charge that the English are never content with their King law or God. It defends the monarchy against claims of hypocrisy amid public trials, domestic virtue, and scandal while contrasting royal patience with public uproar and political sensibilities of the era. It also cites a Lords of Trade report debating Ohio land grants and their imperial justification including population, fur trade, defense, provisioning, and civil governance needs.
