"A Postscript To The Letter, On Libels, Warrants, &c" is a significant political pamphlet addressing the contentious issues of libel and general warrants in 18th-century England. Published anonymously, this work serves as a direct response to "A Postscript In The Defence Of The Majority" and "Considerations On The Legality Of General Warrants," engaging in a vital public debate about the limits of governmental power and the rights of citizens.
The pamphlet delves into the legality and ethical implications of general warrants, a practice that allowed the government to arrest individuals without specifying their alleged crimes. It critiques the arguments made in defense of such warrants, arguing for greater protection of individual liberties and freedom of expression. This text offers valuable insights into the political and legal landscape of its time, reflecting the ongoing struggle between authority and individual rights. For scholars of legal history, political theory, and British history, this pamphlet provides primary source material illuminating a critical period in the development of modern legal and political thought.
