Note 26 — Chapter I

In the year 1744, besides several other libels and ballads, had been published two pamphlets that made much noise, called “The Case of the Hanover Troops,” and the Vindication of that Case, supposed to be written by or under the direction of Pitt, Lyttelton, Doddington, &c. The first was answered by old Horace Walpole, in a pamphlet called “The Interest of Great Britain steadily pursued.”
