Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War With America, France, Spain, and Holland, Vol. 1 of 4: Commencing in 1775 and Ending in 1783 No Nation ever terminated a war more to its advantage and glory, than that which Great-Britain carried on against the united powers of France and Spain, and concluded by the Treaty of Paris, in one thousand seven hundred and sixty-three. The strength of the Britain nation had been conduced by the most spirited and fortunate Minister that ever presided over its councils, and had been exerted with a vigour and energy unexampled in any preceding aera: an uninterrupted series of successes attended it in every quarter of the globe, and victories followed each other by sea and land, that astonished all Europe, and thoroughly subdued the spirit and broke the strength of the enemy. The terms of the pacification that ended this memorable contest, though not so advantageous, in the opinion of some, as the state of this country on the one side seemed to claim, and to expect, and the deprest situation of its enemies might, on the other, have submitted still they were such as exalted the British monarchy to a degree of splendour and power, that rendered it equally the envy, the admiration, and the terror of Europe.
