Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Correspondence of William Shirley, Vol. 2 of 2: Governor of Massachusetts and Military Commander in America 1731-1760 My Lord Duke, Having lately taken the liberty to beg of your Grace to favour my application for the government of the Leeward Islands, and inclos´d a letter from Mr. Western to your Grace upon that subject; That I may trespass, as little as may be, upon your Grace´s time, I beg leave to lay before you a state of the grounds of my request, before I have the honour of waiting upon your Grace again. Before I had any pretensions of publick service to recommend me to your Grace´s protection, your Grace was pleas´d in mere Goodness to me to procure me the government of the Massachusetts Bay in New England. The Factious Temper of the people there towards their former Governours, and the Distracted state of the Affairs of the province, when I had the honour of being appointed to the government, with the happy Alteration in both, since my Administration of it, are well known to your Grace.
