Address to King George II by Crew of the Orford Man of War
Extinct from a political and historical discourse on the war events from September 1759 to September 1760. The piece notes French disadvantages and country terrain aiding their General. The addressed royal homage claims Neptune’s loyalty to King George II and requests permission to kiss the king’s hands. The text is a re publication deemed timely and features wit and plain sense.
