Description

This collection of letters, written in the late 18th century, addresses the controversial figure of John Wilkes, a journalist and politician who was expelled from the British Parliament on charges of seditious libel. The letters defend Wilkes's right to free speech and criticize the government's heavy-handed approach to dissent. They are an important reminder of the struggles for free expression that have played a critical role in the development of modern democracies.
