[I believe I did not tell you that Sr Jos:h Yorke
gave me 2 political pamphlets lately published
They happened to become the subject of conversation
as lying on the table in his study when I was
with him in the morning. One is entitled "Memoire
justicatif de la conduite de la grande Bretagne
en arretant les navires étrangers et les munitions
de Guerre destinèes aux Insurgens de l'Amerique.
Londres: Imprimè par Harrison & Brook 1779 Quarto.
This is by a Sr James Marriot of whom Sr Jos:h
speaks in very high terms. He is judge ofI think
of the high court of Admiralty and is now publishing
his decisions with his reasons &c in dutch to serve as
Precedents. There are already several seperate ones publishd
but he means to collect them into a Volume.
The book of which I have just given you the title has
marginal contents and in other respects appears methodical
The language however is not his own. Sr Josh put it into
somebody's hands to correct as he is not perfectly Master of
french.
