Roger L'Estrange (1616-1704) was an English author, pamphleteer, courtier, and press censor. He was a staunch defender of King Charles II and the 1660 Stuart Restoration, and used The Observator to promote Toryism and bash Whigs. The Observator was written as a dialogue between two characters, a Whig and the "Observator", who held Tory views. The issues in this lot cover religious and political topics, frequently disparaging the Non-conformists, Protestant Christians who didn't "conform" to the governance of the state church, the Church of England. Very Good.
