Letter on British conquests and Scottish rebels in mirthless tone
A long, pointed critique of a British minister and prowar advocates arguing for further conquests. The writer attacks endless glory seeking, mocks the idea of Cuba and Havannah as peacetime impediments, and ridicules opposing Scots and an English newspaper’s rhetoric. The piece ends by lampooning a Gazetteer spoof about Newfoundland.
