Letter on Titles and Wit in Society and German War Policy
An extended letter discusses how titles influence judgment and whether writers write for bread or merit. It catalogs poets and printers, arguing wit is partly mechanical and habit from necessity. It then reviews a pamphlet urging Britain to oppose German war pretexts and defend Protestant succession and Hanoverian ties, urging cautious policy against France and German dominion.
