"Remarks on the speeches of William Paul Clerk, and John Hall of Otterburn, Esq…" is an analytical critique of the final speeches of two men executed for rebellion, written in the early 18th century. The text serves as a political commentary, defending the established government and challenging the narratives presented by the rebels in their speeches. The book critiques the motivations and claims made by Paul and Hall, arguing against their portrayals as martyrs while reaffirming the legitimacy of the reigning authority. In the text, both William Paul and John Hall make fervent declarations supporting the Jacobite cause and lamenting their fates. Paul expresses regret for his past mistakes, yet simultaneously attempts to leverage his execution for martyrdom, while Hall positions himself as a noble figure sacrificed for his rightful king. The author of the "Remarks," however, systematically dismantles their arguments, outlining the inconsistencies and fallacies in their claims and highlighting their previous attempts to save their lives, which contradict their postures of unwavering loyalty. Ultimately, the book argues against the legitimacy of the rebels' assertions and profoundly critiques the idea of loyalty to a dethroned monarch in favor of the established order.
