RANDOM ORATIONS POST
Chatham 1741. same oration as last.
-in the spanish affair of the last war, i was abused in all the newspapers for having advised his majesty to violate the laws of nationswith regard to spain. the abuse was industriaously circulated even in handbills. if the administration did not propagate the abuse, the administration never contradicted it. i willnot say what advise i did give the king. my advise is in writing, signed by myself, in the possession of the crown. but i will say what advise i did not give to the king. i did NOT advise him to violate any laws of the nations.
parallels?
