Queries on Pitt and British policy amid 18th century unrest

An extensive letter from AMICUS questions Pitt’s motives, praising his integrity and listing British naval and colonial gains. It laments factional attacks and urges examination of parliamentary independence, while critiquing modern press sensationalism and printing editorials. A bishop’s critique follows about colonial ethics and treatment of indigenous peoples, then literary notices and 1762 publications.
