A Postcript To Thoughts On The Late General Election, As Demonstrative Of The Progress Of Jacobinism By J. Bowles. John Bowles analyzes the Nottingham election, arguing that the events reflected Jacobin influence and revolutionary tendencies. The postscript expands the narrative with new evidence and reflections on events after the election, including testimonies about a procession reputed to imitate French revolutionary rites, the Tree of Liberty ceremony, the Goddess of Reason, and the display of tri-coloured symbols. Bowles contends that such demonstrations threaten the rights of election and civil order, and he defends the need for transparent inquiry and for firm, lawful action by magistrates and police. He criticizes attempts to downplay violence or to narrow the scope of accountability, urging readers to resist calumny while supporting the rule of law. The work culminates in a call to protect established worship, public morality, and constitutional governance against faction and radical disruption. It also considers broader policing reforms and the role of local authorities in safeguarding the peace.
