Volume 3 — ADOPTION OF A PLAN OF FORTIFYING THE WEST INDIAN ISLANDS.
Reading edition
The first subject that engaged the attention of parliament after his majesty’s recovery, was a plan, formed by the master-general of the ordnance, for the fortification of the West Indian Islands. This scheme was condemned by General Burgoyne, Sheridan, and other members of opposition; but on the 18th of March £218,000 was granted for that purpose.
