Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Original beige paper pamphlet. Text printed in black ink. No outer wrappers. Formerly bound. 5" x 8." Sixty pages, complete. Pages are very clean and intact except for darkening on front and back, light age toning throughout, some fading to text on Page 47 (text still readable), chipping along spine (leather pieces still attached), and slight wear to extremities. Remarkably intact considering the age of this pamphlet. A Very Good copy. A propagandist pamphlet in favor of Britain's involvement in the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). Authored anonymously, possibly by British statesman William Pitt. This pamphlet is specifically a response to a previous publication by another author, Considerations on the Present German War, which took an opposing stance toward the war. The author of this pamphlet presents various reasons in support of Britain's prosecution of the Seven Years' War. Much of their criticism in this pamphlet is leveled against the primary enemy of Britain in this war, France (they eventually came to peace through the Treaty of Paris in 1763). An introductory Advertisement quickly denotes the author's discontent with the Considerations pamphlet. The author proceeds to present their arguments in favor of the war. Among the author's reasons for backing the war are their arguments that Britain is in a better position militarily than France, Britain is treating its soldiers better than France's, "Britain has been more tender than France in risking the lives of its subjects," the Battles of Crevelt and Minden were still advantageous to Britain in the long-run, and France is faring worse than Britain in Germany. Throughout much of the pamphlet, the author quotes passages from Considerations and argues against them using their reasoning. Also included are passages from other works. A variety of other subjects related to the Seven Years' War are alluded to by the author including, among others, the "West India trade," overseas colonies, war activities outside of Europe, and the Treaty of Versailles.…
