"Dr. Addington's narrative. Containing his account of what passed relative to this transaction." at end.
Chatham disagreed with the American policy of the Rockingham party which advocated the immediate acknowledgment of American independence. Early in 1778 Chatham's physician, Dr. Addington, and Sir James Wright, a friend of Lord Bute, attempted to bring about a political alliance between the two statesmen; this account concerns the false report that Chatham had sought Bute's assistance in returning to office in the winter of 1778.
