THOUGHTS ARE BEST:
OR A
FURTHER IMPROVEMENT
Of a Late
SCHEME
TO PREVENT
STREET ROBBERIES :
BY WHICH
Our Streets will be strongly guarded, and sogloriously illuminated, that any part of London will be as safe andpleasant at Midnight as at Noonday; and Burglary totallyimpracticable:
With
Some Thoughts for suppressing Robberies inall the Public Roads of England, and c.
Humbly
Offered for the Good of his Country, submittedto the Consideration of the Parliament, and dedicated to his sacredMajesty King George II.

Most Excellent
MAJESTY,
SACRED AND MOST AUGUST!
Permit a loyal subject, in the sincerity of hisheart, to press through the crowds of courtiers who surround yourroyal person, and lay his little mite, humbly offered for thepublic welfare, at your majesty's feet.
