Anti Machiavel –
Letter I.

Letter of Anti-Machiavel
For to the Public Advertiser.

Anti-Machiavel.
Letter 1st.

Observations on the Declaration presented to the
Court of Denmark by Mr. Elliott, British
Minister at that Court, April 23d. 1789:
Shewing the causes of the Unjust and Useless
War
into which the Ministry are endeavouring
to plunge us.

Text of the Declaration.
Paragraph 1.

"I willingly acquiesce to (in) the desire your Excellency
has expressed of receiving, in writing,
the summary of those representations I had the
honour to make you by word of mouth, by the order
of the (my) Court."

Observations on Par: 1.

Verbal discourses being capable of being avowed
in one moment, and denied the next, avowed
to one person, and denied to another, it was equally
natural and prudent in the Danish Minister
to desire to receive, in a form unsusceptible
of falsification, a menace which exposes
its own injustice to the eyes of Europe, particularly
of the British Nation, who may now see
themselves upon the point of being plunged
into a war, without object or pretence, for the
purpose of carrying the menace into effect.
The injustice and violence stamped upon the
face of the composition of the British Court, are
features
