NotesA letter to a great m--------r, on the prospect of a peace; wherein the demolition of the fortifications of Louisbourg is shewn to be absurd; the importance of Canada fully refuted; the proper barrier pointed out in North America; and the reasonableness and necessity of retaining the French sugar islands. Containing remarks on some preceding pamphlets that have treated of the subject, and a succinct view of the whole terms that ought to be insisted on from France at a future negociation. A plea for a vigorous prosecution of the war against the French West India islands, the conquest of Louisiana, and a treaty of peace which should guarantee those regions to Great Britain, returning Canada to France. Error in paging: 105-112 numbered 89-96.
