Faction and politics in Britain in 1762
A 1762 satirical piece argues over the meaning of faction and the dangers of political discord. It condemns attempts to sow jealousy, praises impartial inquiry, and critiques the ministry for fostering disunity while contrasting with the former administration’s perceived harmony. It cites the Briton as the first weekly paper to attack the royal family’s allies and notes the chancellor of the Exchequer Legge.
