Each Part contains An accurate Description of the Settlements in it, their Extent, Climate, Products, Trade, Genius and Disposition of their Inhabitants: the Interests of the several Powers of Europe with respect to those Settlements; and their Political and Commercial Views with regard to each other.

William Burke may also have been the author of the famous "Junius's letters." Show more
