Item Description

The writer, who describes himself as a 'most notorious demagogue', is a supporter of Reform. He refers to the source of his nom-de-plume as coming from Colonel Fraser, who stated that Reformers were the 'most notorious revolutionists, demagogues, and agitators in the empire'. The writer believed that the resolutions passed by the Freeholders, Justices of the Peace and Commissioners of Supply were absurd and unjust. These resolutions relate to the methods of calculating the value of land to prove someone's entitlement (or not) to vote. M.N. Demagogue's letter demonstrates why he believes this method of calculation to be so unjust.
