Remonstrance over Liberty and Royal Authority in Middlesex
A historic Middlesex Journal fragment recounts a public remonstrance asserting parental rights of liberty against royal overreach, urging a writless election of representatives in major counties and cities. It describes a city procession to St James's, the King’s answer, and public reactions, with notes on political tensions, troop movements, and international chatter surrounding Britain.
