An Auditor’s plea for temper in political discourse
A fragmentary 18th century critique argues against copying other writers and urges readers to judge for themselves. It traces excessive factionalism, press liberty debates, and calls for calm discussion, balanced criticism, and the reconciliation of public opinion with civility.

Conquest of Cuba Favored as Key to Indies Power
A reconstructed letter urges England to seize Cuba and the Havanas after Porto Bello, arguing conquest would deter Spain, secure navigation, and protect New Spain trade. It promotes the Havana as a strategic center guarding Florida Gulf, asserting Britain could dominate the Indies and force European powers to rely on them. The piece frames Cuba as vital for море commerce and national security.
