Political satire on ministry legitimacy and English language
A critical discussion mocks foreign readers and the daily and weekly libels against a legally appointed ministry. It contrasts Cibber and Whitehead with Johnson and Dryden, notes public ridicule, and argues that current ministers, a mix of Scotsmen and peers, fail to gain confidence or unity. Townshend is praised for independence, while distrust from the ministry persists.
