Publisher's advertisement on verso of half title.
"... if ever our wars in North America shall have the good fortune to be described by a Xenophon, or a Livy, --the glory of the Britons will soon eclipse that of the Greeks and Africans. ... Nor are courage and conduct the distinguishing characters of this fortunate war. ... Thus have our soldiers taught the savage Indians mercy, not by precept, but example ... If we consider the immense expences this nation hath been put to, in protecting and enlarging the trade and interests of the American colonies, ... in twenty years time they should be both able and willing to assist their mother country with three or four hundred thousand pounds a year; of which one half might be raised by the Northern colonies, and the other half by the Sugar Islands."--p. 6-23.
