“The
Morning Herald, one of the principal Opposition papers, made
itself so unpopular by supporting the Carlton House party that its issue of 7th March 1789, in which it declared the
King to be incapable of reigning because of the state of his health, was
publicly burnt outside the Carolina Coffee House near the Royal Exchange”
(Aspinall, Politics and the Press c.1780-1850, p.271).
