Lottery Critique and Public Outcry Over Defective Scheme
A London letter condemns a public lottery scheme as exorbitant and deceptive. Names a list of merchants and residents, laments the toll on common people, and urges public resistance. The writer vows continued opposition, seeking wider publication to mobilize liberty-minded readers.
Manifesto against the Middlesex Lottery declares war
The letter proclaims battle against the lottery as a corrupt venture doomed to ruin, vows to stand firm against ridicule, and denounces the scheme for extracting money from vice and passion. It laments public peril and cites the proposed 180,000 pounds raised as a gross misuse. The report then shifts to Scotland. May 25. Edinburgh. The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, High Commissioner the Earl of Glasgow, and a sermon by Dr Gilbert Hamilton are described. A villager prevented a planned arson near the city and Wedderburn’s spirited conduct is noted.
