A Complete History Of The Invasions Of England, Including The Most Memorable Battles And Sea-Fights From Julius Caesar, Down To The French Landing In Wales In 1796: The Calamites Of France, Being A Catalogue Of French Cruelties, With A Complete Abstract From Barruel's History Of The French. This edition is a polemical historical compilation surveying the invasions of England from Caesar’s time through the late eighteenth-century, and interleaving accounts of cruelties attributed to the French during the Revolution. The Introduction extols British unity and constitutional liberty while contrasting it with French anarchy. Part I narrates invasions in chronological order—including Caesar, Caligula, the Saxons, the Danes, the Norse, and the Normans—and later threats from France and Spain, ending with the French landing in Wales in 1796. Part II compiles alleged French cruelties—massacres, drownings, guillotinings, and depredations—by figures such as Carrier, Marat, Robespierre, and the Nantes conspirators, drawn from Barruel and other sources to argue against French republicanism. The work emphasizes naval power, militia organization, and warnings against foreign influence; its tone is propagandistic and anti-Revolutionary.
