SOME MATERIAL AND VERY IMPORTANT REMARKS CONCERNING THE PRESENT SITUATION OF AFFAIRS BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE AND SPAIN, IN REGARD TO THEIR EAST AND WEST INDIA SETTLEMENTS. AS ALSO A METHOD PROPOSED, WHICH WILL EFFECTUALLY REDUCE FRANCE AND SPAIN TO GOOD MANNERS, UPON A BETTER AND MORE LASTING FOUNDATION THAN ALL OUR HITHERTO FRUITLESS NEGOTIATIONS. . .
London: Printed for C. Corbett, against St. Dunstan's Church, in Fleet-street, 1755. [4], 47, [1 blank] pp, with the half title as issued. Stitched into plain wrappers with title pasted down on front wrapper. Lightly foxed, about Very Good.
The author warns that France, ever since the treaty of Aix la Chapelle, has "been daily sapping and undermining the very Foundation thereof. Witness their open and avowed Hostilities" against "our East and West India Settlements." Spain has also been an aggressor.
How should Britain deal with them? "Thrust them out as Vagrants; esteem them as nauseous, pernicious and most destructive Guests." No more negotiations, except "from the Mouths of our great Guns, those thundering Orators."
