REMARKS ON THE CESSION OF THE FLORIDAS TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND ON THE NECESSITY OF ACQUIRING THE ISLAND OF CUBA BY GREAT BRITAIN.

Self-styled expanded second edition, "printed exclusively in the PAMPHLETEER," after portions originally appeared in both the Morning Chronicle (September 1, 1819) and Port Folio (November 1819). An engaging discourse on political implications for Great Britain should the United States annex Florida. "On the secret acts and resolutions, 1811-1818, which initiated American intervention in Florida. [Rattenbury writes] Great Britain should oppose U.S. acquisition unless she obtains Cuba" - Servies. An interesting proposal, particularly in light of Monroe's desire to sweep European influence out of North America. Scarce. SERVIES 996. SABIN 67960. OCLC 1545548. Later marbled wrappers. Internally clean. Very good.
