L. At Richmond
–
The author of this piece, “L. of Richmond,” implied residency in an aristocratic area of southwest London, home to one of the oldest royal residences, Richmond Palace, likely to lend credence to the claim that he was personally acquainted with George Grenville, former Lord of the Exchequer, former Prime Minister, and author of the controversial Stamp Act (1765). Whether true or not, the implication sharpened the text’s satirical edge critiquing both Grenville’s policies and his character.
