A full answer to the Letter from a by-stander, &c. : wherein his false calculations and misrepresentations of facts in the time of King Charles II are refuted, and an historical account is given of all the Parliamentary aids in that reign, from the journals of the House of Commons : the ancient and modern power of the Crown, and the excessive height to which it is risen of late, are clearly represented, and reasons offered for restoring to the freeholders of England their ancient right of chusing high sheriffs and justices of the peace in the county courts, as a proper means of restoring the ballance of our constitution, and putting a stop to the progress of corruption
