the-london-gazette-used-to-print-threatening

The London Gazette used to print threatening letters received by various politicians/noblemen and offer rewards for the capture of the authors of said letters.

Many of them are quite wonderful. It’s like reading a selection of the finest 200 year old YouTube comments.
