Manuscript calling for the defeat
of the Whig Ministry endorsed by
George I in the general election
of 1722. Attacks the German influence
on the English Court; martial law
and the revived standing army; the
undermining of the Established
Church; and the fiscal mismanagement
and corruption of Robert Walpole and
other ministers. Detailed contrasts
are drawn between the "Court Party"
and the "Country Party."
The author devotes three pages to
denunciations of the government's
handling of the Mississippi and
South Seas Bubbles.
