The Bishop of Salisbury, John Douglas (1721-1807) was a well-known Scottish writer and Anglican bishop. Douglas penned this letter to politicians William Pitt and the Duke of Newcastle (the "Two Great Men") at the behest of his patron, Lord Bath. In the pamphlet, Douglas predicts British victory in the Seven Years War and urges the statesmen to negotiate a favorable treaty with the terms that Quebec, Nova Scotia, Louisburg, and Cape Breton Islands become British territory. (Oxford DNB) (Wikipedia) This work is sometimes mistakenly attributed to William Pulteney, Earl of Bath.
