Synopsis
A State Of The Rise And Progress: Of Our Disputes With Spain, And Of The Conduct Of Our Ministers Relating Thereto by Hugh Hume, Earl of Marchmont. This historical-political tract scrutinizes Britain's long-running disputes with Spain over navigation rights in the American seas and the proper conduct of ministers. Through detailed examination of treaties from the 17th and 18th centuries—such as the 1670 Cedulas and the Sevile/Seville conventions—the author argues that England repeatedly sacrificed its liberty of trade by yielding to vague Spanish pretensions and by permitting concessions that eroded the free navigation of British subjects. The work recounts episodes of privateering, confiscations, and diplomatic negotiations ending in contested settlements, exposing the influence of ministers who favored time-gaining negotiations over decisive action. The text advocates a firm assertion of British rights, including naval strength and lawful trade protections, to secure future peace and prosperity. It reflects a polemical, constitutional critique of government conduct in matters of empire and commerce.
