Thoughts on the Late Transactions Respecting Falkland's Islands (1771) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781162048765)

Thoughts On The Late Transactions Respecting Falkland�������s Islands is a book written by Samuel Johnson in 1771. The book is a collection of essays in which Johnson expresses his opinions on the dispute between Britain and Spain over the Falkland Islands. The dispute arose when the British established a settlement on the islands, which the Spanish claimed as their own. Johnson argued that the British had a right to the islands based on their discovery and settlement of them. He also criticized the Spanish for their aggression towards the British and for their attempts to limit British trade in the region. Johnson's essays are a valuable historical record of the attitudes and opinions of the time, and they provide insight into the political and social climate of 18th-century Britain. The book is an important contribution to the history of the Falkland Islands and the broader history of British colonialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
