Observations on Mr. Fielding's enquiry into the causes of the late increase of Robbers, &c. In which not only the present reigning vices among the vulgar are more candidly and impartially considered; but the follies and vices of the politer part of the British nation are freely represented; as also the pernicious consequences of drinking gin more particularly described: By Ben. Sedgly, of Temple-Bar. To which are added, considerations on the nature of government in general; and more particularly of the British constitution: with a vindication of the rights and privileges of the commonalty of England, in opposition to what has been advanced by the author of the enquiry, or to what may be promulgated by any ministerial artifices, against the public cause of truth and liberty: by Timothy Beck, the happy cobler of Portugal Street.
