Fragment of 18th century public notices and letters
A long reader page compiles letters and notices from London papers about political dissent, colonial affairs, church controversies, and public debates. It critiques ministers meddling with India Company policy, lordly prerogatives, and taxation while urging constitutional reform and resistance against royal influence. It also covers colonial oppression in St. Vincent and a controversial election in Middlesex.
