Summary (extracted citations)

From The Preface: 'It would be obtrusive on the good sense of the reader, to anticipate the reflections that will naturally occur, on a perusal of the foloowing pieces. In them may be traced the origin of a destructively inglorious war, which began in tyranny, and ended in the unhappy dismemberment of the empire. By a retrospective view of past calamities, future evils may be avoided; and, the Petition brought over by Mr. Penn the Declaration of Independence, but, above all, the humiliating Treaties subjoined to this work, may serve as admonitory cautions to Monarchs and Ministers how they reject the Petitions, provoke resentments, or infringe the liberties of a brave and free poeple'.
