A London Liveryman Letter on Sheriffs and Liberty
A long, formal plea to London liverymen praising past reformers and criticizing the Lord Mayor. The writer recalls Wilkes controversies, praises Townsend Sawbridge and Oliver, and warns that future sheriffs must defend liberties against ministerial influence. He recounts Charles II era tricks to show dangers of corrupted elections and urges unity for the coming sheriff selection.
