About this title

Synopsis

"Remarks On The Rescript Of The Court Of Madrid, And On The Manifesto Of The Court Of Versailles. In A Letter To The People Of Great Britain. To Which Is Added An Appendix". The pamphlet offers a British-leaning critique of the Rescript of Madrid and the Manifesto of Versailles, arguing that Bourbon courts sought to manipulate England and Britain’s colonies during the American War. It surveys the Spanish Rescript and the French Manifesto, compares accounts from London and Madrid, and critiques the motives of Louis of France and Charles of Spain, claiming they used diplomacy, money, and arms to support American rebels and to advance the Bourbon alliance. It cites treaties (Utrecht, Paris) to condemn privateering and colonial warfare, and denounces the “Family Compact.” The Appendix reproduces translations of the Spanish Rescript, the French Manifesto, and Franklin's Memorial. The work urges British unity, vigilance, and a resolute defense of empire, presenting a polemical historical narrative rather than a neutral chronicle.
