Notes

Letter in reaction to Dundas' speech in the House of Commons in the debate about the Royal Proclamation against seditious writings and publications. Dundas cited Paine's Rights of Man among the writings targeted by the proclamation. The letter originally appeared in The Argus and was published by the S.C.I. This edition is followed by two further letters to Lord Cranley Onslow, who organized the meeting at Epsom in support of the proclamation.
