Contemporary light brown polished calf. Spine in decorated compartments. Red morocco title-piece. Upper joint with narrow crack to head. A very good and fresh copy. An important document on the history of Canada and the United States. The work begins by looking at the causes of the conflict between Great Britain and France over the territory of Ohio. In essence, 1756 marked the beginning of the Seven Years' War or French and Indian War, a war of conquest to establish the legitimate occupation of the territories. This war overran the territory from Virginia and Nova Scotia to the region of the Canadian lakes, with some American Indians fighting on the side of the British, and some on the side of the French. Shebbeare reviews the British defeats, mistaken policy and the generals in Canada, the intervention of American militias and Washington. The author frankly accuses the British government (Kings and Ministers) of having failed to protect the British colonies in America and predicts the downfall of Britain, giving examples of jealousy and misguided policy in Canada. As well as this accusation, the author examines the situation of Britain in Europe, the treaty with Russia, the difficulties of the House of Hanover and France and once again accuses his country of ruining itself with disastrous political decisions. * (2) xxiv, 212pp.

Modern half cherry red morocco binding. Confounding pastiche of a Restoration binding. Spine with false flat raised bands decorated with five blind tooled ornaments, gilt fillets; gilt roll at head and foot. Very fine copy. Important document concerning the history of Canada and the United States, the work begins by examining the causes of the conflict between Great Britain and France concerning the Ohio territory. Indeed, in 1756, it was the beginning of the Seven Years' War, or Indian War, a war of conquest for legitimate occupation of territories; this war would spread from Virginia and Nova Scotia to the entire Great Lakes region of Canada, some Indians fought alongside the English, others with the French. Shebbeare reviews the English defeats, the poor policy and the generals present in Canada, the intervention of the American militia and Washington. The author harshly accuses the English government (kings and ministers) of having failed in protecting the British colonies of America and predicts England's ruin, citing examples at will of the poor policy conducted in Canada. Beyond this accusation, the author examines England's situation in Europe, the treaty with Russia, the difficulties with the House of Hanover and France and again accuses his country of sabotaging itself through disastrous political decisions. * (2) xxiv, 212pp.
