Coronation reflections on royal virtue and prudence
In a century old letter, the author muses on the coronation as a public bond between king and people, contrasts elective and hereditary ideas, praises gratitude and ministerial choice, and laments historic parliaments' disputes while seeking future prudent governance under a united realm. The piece closes with a promise to discuss the next parliament.
