Three Letters to the People, by One of the Middling
Classes, treat of government, representation, and many other political matters. In principle, the author is what BROUGHAM would term a low Radical, and what Mr. HETHERINGTON would consider a true one. As regards qualification, he is naturally sensible, with some little reading, although, from want of systematic study and reflection, it does him more harm than good when he sets up for a public instructor. He advocates the Ballot, Triennial Parlia- ments, an extended Suffrage, Peerage Reform, and a National Bank. His more peculiar views are for the people in large towns to elect Members from the middling or even the working classes, in order to get truly represented, and to pay them a sufficient in- come by weekly penny subscriptions.
