One of least 5 printings of this tract, which is commonly attributed to Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun 'The Patriot' (1655-1716), but also to George Ridpath. The author 'Philo-Caledon' rejects Spain's claim that the Scottish settlement at Darien was an intrusion of Spanish territory and appeals (in vain) to England to help make the colony to make a success. This printing has 'Edenburgh' in the imprint. |
