  • Notes: first edition. After much debate over the true authorship of this pamphlet concerning the aftermath of the French & Indian War, scholars have apparently decided that it was likely co-authored by the two. The importance of the work, however, lies in its position vis a vis Canada, with Franklin arguing the importance of retaining the colony over Guadeloupe as a means of protecting the western frontier. Howes J26; Sabin 35450.
