Sweden upheaval and English views on liberty
In the Gazetteer, Amb Den discusses Sweden, a young prince overturning religious and civil restraints, the Swedish people's resolve to limit royal power, and the danger of a standing army. He contrasts Britain as a beacon of liberty with a possible Brunswick royal line as a safe future. The piece also includes letters and moral tales urging reform, plus reflections on mercy and public virtue.

Swedish Liberty Debate and Greek Marriage Custom Noted
The Gazetteer essay discusses Sweden under royal rule with a critique of despotism and calls for liberty, contrasting it with English law. It recounts a Greek custom where strangers must marry a local woman upon arrival, then may depart next day, with a year of cohabitation and a later remarriage option, followed by a Walpole letter opposing Ohio settlements due to migration and cost concerns.
