The Speech of Lord Chatham on Falkland Islands Crisis
A transcription from a North Briton Extraordiry preserves Lord Chatham's Nov 22 1776 address. The debate centers on government papers about Spain, Falkland Island events, and whether to force full disclosure or continue negotiation. Richmond Hill and Weymouth press the motion. Chatham and Hillsborough defend prudence and national honour while criticizing ministerial conduct and envision future inquiry.
