Monitor Or British Freeholder in London, Middlesex

Monitor letter debate on British war measures against France

Sir, I request a further trial of the spirit against a Quaking assembly that attacks the Monitor’s doctrine on the British navy and conquest of France. The critics’ arguments are inconsistent and they avoid direct opposition to a vigorous exertion of power, instead using false suggestions to sow public unease about the war. They acknowledge the need for troops on the continent but misrepresent the measures.
