The Nation on the Brink Keppel and the British Fleet
A period piece from London’s Evening Post laments Britain’s peril at sea. It argues Admiral Keppel must win to avert invasion and preserve empire, decrying militia shortcomings, calls for discipline, and condemns colonial and domestic leaders for rapacity. It contrasts French valor with English volatility.
