A.B. responds to a Tar NORTH BRITON piece by critiquing Mr. Piercy and his allegorical print. He questions the aim of praising liberty while lampooning authority, mocks the Jemmy Dawson episode, and cautions against implying Catholic-Hapsburg sympathies. He urges a refined edition balancing praise across the nation.
