Fragmentary 18th Century Critique on Justice and Art
A long, disjointed monologue criticizes neglect of punishing insults to a woman and a gentleman at Hyde Park Gate in 1767, accusing officers of protecting soldiers. It shifts to praise for French and Indian arts, noting statues, mechanics, and art achievements admired by Europe. The piece references General Ebhoué light horse and a certificate dispute, with scattered mentions of poets, battles, and Mosul.
