the design and subject of these pages this sketch pamphlet, the source of viz:
the sourcing of punishment, as and for the offence of libelling, to
the publishers and authors of every paper wh by which
in any high-seated bosom, the emotion of displeasure
happens to have been excited, the source, supposing it realized,
lies in the King's Bench: of the reference to of the Exchequer
the mention here made has had no other view than that
of affording proof – and that proof which admitts of no

In the Kings Bench, how far that which has this
been rendered probable, is true – viz the formation of

to pay him in recompense for the labour
of being supposed to do
duties of it.
