Pamphlets for the Years, 1781-1782
Collection: The American Revolution from a British Perspective, 1763–1783 Volumes Pamphlets for the Years, 1781-1782
The pamphlets of 1781 contain a significant number of sermons that were designed for and delivered to an English congregation. 1782 saw a change in tenor as the course that the war was taking became more apparent and American independence, at least to a significant degree, became inevitable. The Earl of Shelburn is the subject of a number of pamphlets in his defence during 1782, as his views on North American independence proved controversial and individuals from his own political party began to suspect that he might be intending to give more concessions to America than they thought necessary. Historically significant items include an ?Account of The Battle between the British and French Fleets in the West Indies??, and the Board of American Loyalists? ?Declaration and Address of His Majesty's Suffering Loyalists, to the People of America?, as well as ?Two Letters From Dr. Franklin, to the Earl of Shelburne?.
