About Old England

Old England: or the Constitutional Journal was a London political weekly launched on 5 February 1743. Backed by opposition leaders George Bubb Dodington and Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, and conducted chiefly by William Guthrie and James Ralph—often speaking in the house persona “Jeffrey Broadbottom”—it advanced a Country-Whig (“patriot”) critique of ministerial power, repeatedly attacking Britain's Hanoverian commitments and arguing for liberty of the press. Widely regarded as the most influential opposition paper of the early 1740s, it spurred rival weeklies and fed reprints in the magazines; several early issues were promptly republished as pamphlets.
