Synopsis
Excerpt from Reply to a Short Review of the Political State of Great Britain, at the Commencement of the Year 1787
The people of England are fo difgul'ced with the indifcriminate virulence, and unmerited eulogiums of party, that when ever a pamphlet appears, where hardly any charaéters whatever are held up as either immaculately virtuous, or diabolically vitious, but where purity of mind and fublimity of talents, are mingled with, and debafed by the foibles of nature, we at leal'c pronounce it a candidfiperform ance, where rancour can have no Ibare, where cunning can have no view, and where the molt difinterefied patriotifm only predominates. But {hould fuch a compofition, upon an attentive perufal, he found to teem with charges of the molt heinous kind, and of, the moftide prayed maligmty, agamfi thofe very cha racfters that the writer at firft fo profufely embellifhes with pexfeétions, every Ieader muft tluow it afide with difdai and execrate 7 execrate fuch a bafe defign of that p'etty 'dauber, who has the ignorant audacity to affirm, that beauty confifis in uglinefs, and that depravity is virtue.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a nuanced treatise on political commentary in 18th Century Great Britain. The author carefully dissects the writings of an anonymous pamphleteer who provided effusive praise for the leading political figures of the day, all while leveling equally barbed criticism against those same figures. The author of this book demonstrates how the pamphleteer's true political intentions are revealed not by what they explicitly state, but by the contradictions between the public facade they present and the underlying motives hinted at in their own words. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in 18th-century politics as well as for students of rhetoric and political communication. The author's insights into the subtle art of political deception are as relevant to contemporary political discourse as they were two hundred years ago. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
