ABSTRACT
The accusation of Mr Hastings continues to appear to the author not inferior in importance to any business that was ever brought before a British parliament. The scribblers of the newspapers, and the ingenious and indefatigable reporters of parliamentary debates, are it seems of a different opinion. But, with all the deference, the author entertains for these gentlemen, he cannot depart from so serious and deliberate a sentiment. It shall be my business, in his humble sphere, to endeavour to keep alive the attention of the public by such hints, animadversions and reflections, as a business so various in its tenour, and comprehensive in its subject, cannot fail to suggest. The affair of Mr Hastings will rank him among the honest men or the villains that by turns have conducted the affairs of Britain.
