Bataille (English, Iowa State U.) credits Kelly (1739-77) with being one of the most important and prolific journalists of his time. He finds that during the period of his peak production, about 1760 to 1776, he reflected self-consciously on the new profession; contributed to the discussion on manner, morals, and the theater; and as a major propagandist for George III and his ministers, participated in the public discourse of important political issues. The work examined here, much of it previously unknown, deals with his handling of affairs of the British Empire. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
