This series of fourteen open letters to Lord Liverpool, the Prime Minister, urges the government to be resolute with France and ruthless with Napoleon, to prevent a recurrence of imperial ambitions. The letters were begun in late 1813, in the wake of the news of the allies' victory at Leipzig (the last one is dated 20 December); they were supposedly for publication in The Courier, but in fact they never appeared in a periodical and this is their first appearance in print.
