ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the lecture on 'A Further Enquiry into the Calamities Produced by the System and Usurpation and Corruption' by John Thelwall. In the lecture, Thelwall discusses how people of Britain misunderstood every Frenchman as the natural enemy of Britain. The late King of Prussia, to whom the world has undoubtedly several obligations, has been very forward in stripping off the veil which used to cover the sanctuary of the Cabinet. In the lecture, Thelwall mentions Alexander the Great who thought that all glory, honour and ambition, consisted in being always either at the head of an army, or getting drunk after victory among his courtezans.
