Dublin printed; and Glasgow reprinted, For A. STALKER, at Glasgow; and G. HAMILTON and THE Publisher's PREFACE. TH HE Publisher of the four preceding Volumes, having met with great fuccefs in the fale of them, was encouraged by the Author's friends, to collect all his political writings and other pieces, in two vo lumes; in which, he was affifted by thofe gentlemen, who favoured him in correcting the former writings. The Conduct of the Allies, which made a great noife in the world, and was univerfally allowed by the oppofite party, to be the best written pamphlet which had appeared upon the fubject, is a Treatife that was thought too material to be loft, as it ferveth for a history of thofe times, and giveth a great light into the affairs tranfacting all over Europe; and, it is remarkable, that the miniftry of his late majesty's reign, as well as of the prefent, have avoided running into an expenfive war by land, to affift their allies, although it might have faved the em pire lately from ruin, both in Germany and Italy. |
