A sammelband of six predominantly Georgian pamphlets relating to the governance and state of Britain, and in particular the financial toll extracted by the waging of the War of Austrian Succession.
The first mentioned work is of particular interest; a satire, presented in the form of a dialogue, opposing the terms of the 1748 treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle which concluded the aforementioned conflict. The fourth mentioned work, primarily concerned with the nations war expenses, is notable for an appendix on the regulations regarding the conduct of French trade convoys destined for the French controlled islands in America.
The third mentioned item in this collection, Minutes of the resolutions of the honourable House of Commons, in the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Sessions of the last parliament, is a second edition that is not recorded by ESTC.
