Attributing War's prevalence to its "deceptive halo of glory," the author denounces in several Letters that barbaric practice and the military establishments that make their living from it. Two poems, entitled "Political Alchymists" and "The Work and Name of War," are also printed, along with a final letter written in 1823 from Tiger Island and entitled, "The Bucanier's Protest," opposing American military action against "brave and enterprising" pirates. It is signed in type by "Vincent II.*| *Supposed to be the successor of the renowned Vincent Cambi."
