The power of gold displayed! In the humane proposal of the Right Hon. William Pitt, chancellor of the Exchequer, to bring forward an act to put His Majesty into the disagreeable situation of signing a decree, that no sick or lame person, in Great Britain, shall have a medicine of repute without paying tribute; which the Writer contends, is not justifiable either by the Law of God, or Man, and is a disgraceful Impost, as it places the Life of a human Being in competition with a Three-Penny or Six-Penny Stamp, &c. By Frs. Spilsbury.
