    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.

    Spilsbury, Francis, 1733?-1793. | Date: 1788
