Political essay on Britain’s balance of power and Austria
A letter from a British author argues against reliance on any single ally to sustain the balance of power in Europe. He critiques current administrations, praises an Austrian-led approach, and weighs alliances with Portugal and Sardinia. The writer references a pamphlet titled Letter to a Right Honourable Member of Parliament and endorses portions while noting uncertainties with Portugal and the woollen trade. He closes by recommending the pamphlet to Mr. C-p-r and signs as Your humble Servant.
