I'll give this a review, seems interesting. Wizardman 00:56, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

  • "Having returned to England, he decided to write a reply to Burke," this is the first and only mention of anyone named Burke; do we have a full name/link? Also, a reply to what? This isn't clear currently.
  • "The Libel Act 1792 required a bad motive behind publication,for a work to be libellous;" rm comma
  • While the prose is certainly well-written, it does feel a bit heavy at times. This is fine for GA, but you might want to have a lay reader who isn't well-versed in this take a look before FAC if you're planning on doing that.

Just a couple minor things that took me a second-read through to find. Article on hold. Wizardman 16:40, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
