1830 Aug. 23
J.B. v George third

a , is Great Briton or not Great Britain.
& no its experience.

George 3 was King. Lord Untouched
remained my loyalty. Then came Wilks & liberty – John
Wilks & No 45. No 45 the a number in the paper
entitled the North Briton. To something no matter what
contained in this speech the author had in direct
terms taxed with being lie.

The seat of the King's throne is in the H. of Lords.
And seating himself in it for the first time George 3
according to immemorial custom made as the
phrase is a speech – in plain truth read aloud a speech
which somebody else had made for him. In it was
this passage – "Born and educated in the country
I glory in the name of the Britons". Stupid or uncandid
and disingenuous Wilks quarrelled with this speech:
he quarrelled with the word Briton in it. Why
with the word Briton? Only because it was Briton
if not Englishman: And why should it have been Englishman
and not Briton? Why – but that Scotchmen
ought to be excluded. And why is it that Scotchmen ought
to have been excluded? Why ought Scotchmen to have been
excluded more than Englishmen? Were not Scotchmen as truly
Britons as Englishmen were? Was not Scotland as truly a part
of Grt. Britain as England was?

But envy and jealousy had stept in and covered with
their bandage the eyes of no small part of the English public
and that the upper part.
