§ 16 Uses of Press.
1
Use of liberty of press as
extensive as do of do of
discourse – thence almost
as do of faculty of action. p.1.
2.
Do of political criticism is but a small part of them,
– but a part of the uses
of the press. p.1.
3
Suprà, causes of misrule
are sinister interest,
ignorance and error. Liberty of
political criticism is do
of press applied so as to
afford a remedy toerror:
viz. by exposure. p.1.

between use and
abuse will be seen to

Where the press is
made subservient to
any offence, remedy
against the abuse
is the punishment
annexed to such
offence. p.1
4
Applied to the several
offences, restraint is
so far applied to the
liberty of the press. p.2
5
For the nature and
justificative cause of
those several offences
restraints, reference
must be made to the
laws relative to the
several offences. p.2.
§. 17. Abuses, by false Reports
spread for gain or loss.
1
To some modes of transgression
the press especially
the Newspaper d. is apt to be
preeminently subservient.
Two in particular viz. 1 False
Reports for producing gain
or loss.
2. Injurious Aspersions on
Reputation. p.1.
2
By false reports gain or
loss may be produced in
