Synopsis

A Collection Of Political And Humorous Letters, Poems, And Articles Of News, Publish'D In An Evening Paper, Intitled, The National Journal, Or, Country Gazette. Which Began To Be Publish'D On Saturday, March 22D, 1746, And Was Suppress'D On Thursday, June The 12Th Following. This compilation gathers political and satirical writings published in the National Journal or Country Gazette during the 1746 Jacobite period. It includes letters, poems, and various news articles that debate liberty, government, and the press, often humorously critiquing ministers, officials, and public opinion. The contents reveal a self-reflective press culture that seeks to chart the line between truth and fiction in journalism, discusses Habeas Corpus, and comments on contemporary events such as the Falkirk and Culloden campaigns, political scandals, and the state of the British constitution. Across prefatory notes, editorial paradoxes, and reader correspondence, the volume presents a vivid portrait of mid-18th-century political satire and epistolary journalism.
