Junius was the pseudonym of a writer who contributed a series of political letters to London's newspaper, Public Advertiser, from 21 January 1769 to 21 January 1772 as well as several other London newspapers such as the London Evening Post. The Letters of Junius had a definite objective: (1) to inform the public of their historical and constitutional rights and liberties as Englishmen; and to highlight where and how the government had infringed upon these rights. Because of the letters, charges were brought against several people, of whom two were convicted and sentenced. …

in a Letter addressed to the Earl of Halifax, His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Southern Department. London : printed for J. Dodsley, 1764. Octavo, recent half calf over cloth boards with gilt rule; spine with raised bands ruled and lettered in gilt; pp. 43; [blank]; bound with the half title (which is included in the pagination), a fine, clean copy. A contemporary publication relating to the British invasion of Manila, a military action which took place as a consequence of Spain's entry into the Seven Years' War as an ally of the French. In January 1762, England and Spain had opened hostilities against each other, and in late September 1762 a British force of sailors and marines sent from Madras under Sir William Draper arrived in the Philippines, occupying both Manila and the nearby port of Cavite. The occupation lasted until March 1764, when the new Spanish governor, Francisco de la Torre, arrived with orders from London for the English to surrender Manila to him. 'During the Anglo-Spanish War, in 1762, an English force under the command of Sir William Draper invaded the Philippines and took the city of Manila. Instead of destroying the city and with it the Spanish government's property, the British ransomed it for four million dollars, half of which was paid immediately. With the balance remaining, the war ended with the treaty of Paris in 1763 and the Spanish refused to honor their ransom obligations. Draper wrote this memorial to urge the government to insist on payment. Many of the officers had banked on bonuses resulting from this sum, Draper's share of which amounted to 25,000 pounds."

Soft cover. 1st Edition. 8vo., 43 pp. Bound in blue wrappers and housed in protective buckram case with title gilt on spine. Minor foxing in margins of final leaves but otherwise absolutely mint. Scare first edition of this document relating to the British occupation of Manila during the Anglo-Spanish War of 1762-3, and an interesting case of international law. In September of 1762, under the command of Draper and Cornish, a British fleet of 13 ships containing over 6000 men attacked Manila and, following a difficult landing, quickly dispatched the Spanish garrison which they outnumbered 10 to 1.They entered the city on October 5, and part of the terms of capitulation was that Spain would pay the British an indemnity of 4 million pesos (roughly a million pounds) for not pillaging the city. The British evacuated in 1764 when hostilities ceased, and Draper enjoyed the highly unusual privilege of presenting the standards of Spain taken in Manila to his alma mater, King's College Cambridge. But the Spanish did not honor this gentleman's agreement, claiming that Draper dealt with an unauthorized agent, that he himself broke the terms of the agreement, etc. In order to press his claim, which amounted to £25,000, he published the present tract to pressure his government to collect. The tract contains a brief letter to the British Secretary of State outlining his grievance; a bilingual summary, in English and French, of the Spanish ambassador's grounds for not complying with the terms of the agreement; extracts from the treaty; a refutation by Draper of the claim that he dealt with an unauthorized agent; and an English language treaty signed by the original parties, in Manila. But with hostilities over and their attention occupied by other foreign adventures, chief among them America, the British were in no position to insist and the suit was eventually abandoned.*Griffin, Bibliography of the Philippines, p. 125; Dictionary of National Biography (compact ed.)
