The Moderate Cabal: A Satyr (1710)

Luke Milbourne

The Moderate Cabal: A Satyr is a political satire written by Luke Milbourne in 1710. The book is a scathing commentary on the political climate of the time, particularly the Whig party and its leaders. Milbourne uses a fictional cabal of moderate politicians to criticize the corruption and hypocrisy of those in power. The book is written in verse and contains numerous references to classical literature and mythology. Milbourne's use of satire was controversial at the time and he faced criticism from those he targeted in the book. However, The Moderate Cabal remains an important work of political satire and a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of early 18th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
