Manuscript, in a single hand, of a history of the Anglo-Spanish War, the War of Austrian Succession, and the civil war in Great Britain. The author analyzes the popular opinions of leaders such as Robert Walpole and Prince William, Duke of Cumberland; Parliamentary decisions; and military actions both in Great Britain as well as in Europe. He records verses composed at Cumberland's triumphant arrival at St. James in 1746; and, at the end of the volume, provides a list of "the attainted, the Excepted, the forfeited, and the killed, And some account of the principle noblemen and gentlemen that had been concerned in the Rebellion." The work is prefaced by an explanation that the author aims for no more than, for his own private use, to glean such information as he could from "the best authorities to which I had access" and "to guess at the springs of action."
