The Liberty of the Press, single work column

It also contains a response to, in the words of the column's author, an 'excessively bombastical article' published in the Australian newspaper on 18 April 1838 entitled The Disreputableness of Permitting a Free Periodical Press to Become the Vehicle of Personal Altercation.
