Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a letter written by someone from the landed gentry class to a Member of Parliament in 1741. The author was prompted to write the letter after receiving instructions from his constituents on the state of the nation. However, the author respectfully declines to follow their instructions as he believes they will be detrimental to the country. Instead, he provides his own insights on the matter. The author discusses two key issues in the letter. Firstly, he expresses his concern that some amongst the political ranks are attempting to alter the British Constitution under the pretense of promoting a Place Bill. He argues that such an act would have hugely negative consequences for the country and explores the possible motivations behind the push to pass this Bill. Secondly, the author discusses the ongoing war with Spain and analyzes the political climate around the war. He thinks the British public is being misled by the opposition parties over the progress of the war and the reasons for setbacks. He explains the strategic thinking of the government and believes the administration has acted prudently. Overall, this book is a document of how the machinations of high-level politics played out in 18th century Britain and for anyone interested in the functioning of power and influence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
