Editions: 1x 1793 (London)
Editions Note: One edition. As Ford puts it, it is "Probably the cleverest political satire written by Franklin. It is a scathing review of the Ministry's methods for governing America, and is chiefly aimed at Lord Hillsborough, with whom Franklin certainly more than squares the accounts which the latter had opened by his treachery in the Walpole Grant" affair. It originally appeared in 1773 in multiple newspapers and magazines; see Ford.
