TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF LAUDERDALE.my lord,I take the liberty of calling your attention to a subject of the highest national importance, the State of Property; in the persuasion that, should your Lordship approve of the opinions contained in the following Letters, you will neither be prevented by unreasonable clamour, nor deterred by the danger of unprincipled and systematic misrepresentation, from vindicating, on the first favourable occasion, the Rights of Humanity. It is with peculiar propriety, that I, at the same time, address to your Lordship’s consideration, the Treatise signed ‘A Merchant;’ your excellent Speech, in the last Session of Parliament, having, with the greatest success, refuted, by an accurate investigation of particular facts and circumstances, those fallacious statements of Ministry, to which this Treatise was intended as a general answer. I have the honour to be Your LORDSHIP’s |
