Reverend Sidney Smith and the repudiation debate in London
A satirical exchange between Rev. Sidney Smith and General Green critiques America’s finances and repudiation. The letter quarrel riffs on Italicized fables, with references to duty, patriotism, and debt. The piece includes a lengthy digression on American finances, war, and public opinion, ending with a broad note on political folly and a tale of London social deception.
