The Letters of Simkin the Second is a book written by Ralph Broome and published in 1791. The book is a collection of letters written by Simkin the Second, a fictional character who acted as a poetic recorder of all the proceedings upon the trial of Warren Hastings. Warren Hastings was a British colonial administrator who was accused of corruption and abuse of power during his time as the Governor-General of India. The trial was a major event in British politics and attracted widespread attention. Simkin the Second's letters provide an entertaining and satirical account of the trial and the characters involved, including Hastings himself and the lawyers and politicians who were involved in the proceedings. The book is considered an important work of political satire and a valuable historical document that provides insight into the attitudes and opinions of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
