Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Arguments of the Enquirer Detected and Confuted by the Evidence of Facts The Attacks of Porto Bella and Carthagena were the chief Actions of the Spanisb War; the former attended with Success, the latter (tho´ as formidable and expensive an Armament as this, or any Nation ever lent cut) miscarried, from what Cause the Publick has never been acquainted, only from the hints of some detracting Libels be tween the jarring Chiefs. I think it must be held reasonable, that an Affair of such Importance to this Nation as that Expedition was, ought to have had a parliamentary Enquiry; where ´tis very questionable, whether the Causes of that Miscarriage might not have been expos´d, and the deserving censured, as becoming the solemn Enquiry of that Honourable House. The next most unfortunate irreparable Loss this Country ever felt; was the Proceedings of our Fleet in the Mediterranean against the combined Fleets of France and Spain: an Advantage over our Enemies we can never expect to see again, a Misfortune this Country will long feel the Effects of, by the present War with France, which depended only upon the Fleets doing their Duty and using their Endeavours to destroy the Enemy. I am led from these Reflections, to consider what Don Quixotism in sighting is argued by many of our modern Coffee-House Patriots and Politicians. I will not pretend to fay what they themselves would do, but daily Experience teaches us, ´tis much easier to talk of fighting than to fight.
