Rewards and satire on Pitt and Rigby in North Briton text
The piece critiques British policy under the government, arguing rewards for Mr. Pitt and Mr. Rigby are disproportionate to their merits. It notes Pitt’s annual earnings near 2,200 pounds and Rigby’s combined sums around 4,600 pounds, praising Rigby’s secret services and questioning Pitt’s contributions. It also claims Rigby’s roles and private hints shaped peace preliminaries, with global rewards traced to America and Ireland.
