Bag om Two Memorials

""Two Memorials: Not Originally Intended For Publication, Now Published, With An Explanatory Preface"" is a book written by Thomas Pownall in 1782. The book is a collection of two memorials that were not originally intended for publication but were later published with an explanatory preface. The first memorial is titled ""A Memorial Most Humbly Addressed to the Sovereigns of Europe"" and was written in 1757. It is a plea to the European powers to unite against the British Empire and prevent it from becoming too powerful. The second memorial is titled ""A Memorial Most Humbly Addressed to the Sovereigns of America"" and was written in 1764. It is a call for the American colonies to unite and form a confederation to protect their interests and prevent British tyranny. The preface to the book provides context for the memorials and explains why they were not originally published. Overall, ""Two Memorials"" is a historical document that provides insight into the political thinking of the time and the tensions between the British Empire and its colonies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
