The bum bit Address to bis Majejly from bis new Subjeils of the
ljhind of Granada*
Mod Gracious Sovereign,
BOUR new fubjeds of the Island of Gra
nada humbly beg leave to throw them
fclvcs at your Majelty’s feet, to render
their homage, renew their oath of allegi
ance, and implore your royal protection.
Thefc fubjeds, given you by the
hands of victory, and dcllincd to trans
mit by their offspring, to the remoted
©o fieri ty, the glory of your arms, biefs the God of Hods for
having placed them under his Majeily’s dominions, fmcc
fate was to remove them from that of the Prince under whole
power they were born. They glory in being able, from
the foot of your throne, to admire, in their new mailer, the
sovereign of the seas, the conqueror of the age, the pa
cifier of Europe, and the illudrious object of the love of the
mod ilourifhing of all uations.
What may not thefc happy Britons promise themfclvcs
from the fcqucl of a reign so Ihinitig in its beginning! and
how flattering is it to your fubjeds of Granada, to be enti
tled to hope to partake, in tune to come, of the splendor and
glory which your Majefly gives to Great Britain, and to
the name of Britilh fubied.
If the valour and drength of his Majclty’s arms arc prov
ed (as in effect they are) by a rapidity of conqued, of which
the altoniihcd univerfc fcarcclv finds any indance in hidory;
your treaties with your enemies render equally memorable
your benevolence for all mankind, the grcacncfs of your foul,
the profound wifdoin of your councils.
Your Majtdy, in giving peace to Europe, has acquired
at much glory as advantages; and your goodness to the in
habitants of your conqucds, in granting them the free cxer
cife of their religion, and, as far as the laws will permit,
the privileges of Britons, proves to the world, that your Ma
jedy dclircs only to reign over happy fubjeds.
There is indeed nothing wanting to make them complcat
ly happy, bur the favour they hope your Majeify will grant
them, of enjoying without dillindion, every advantage of
a Britilh fubjed.
What may they not hope from your Majedy’s goodness,
after the proof given this colony of Granada of your paternal
tenderness in appointing her a governor, who, after having
dillinguifhcd himlelf by his valour in the conqued of the
neighbouring islands, is by his abilities, and the goodness
of his heart, become the objed of the admiration, the con
fidence and affeCtion of the conquered people; and that In a
manner as honourable to himfclf, as advantageous to his
country.
We befecch your Majcfty to permit us to aflureyou, that
your Majedy has no fubjeCls more faithful and thankful;
more jealous of the support and encreafc of your glory;
none in whofc hearts you reign more sovereignly, and who
are more warmly disposed to serve their new country, with
their lives and fortunes, than your fubjeCls of Granada.
May it please the sovereign who protects kings, and fcar
th*s hearts, to watch inceflantly on the preservation of your
Majesty, to compleat your glory, and atted the finccrity of
our sentiments and vows.

fublcribcrs as arc dill willing to encourage a work of this
kind, by continuing their lubfcriptions, are requclted to
fignify the fame by fending in their names as soon as pos
sible, in order that he may judge from their number if he
can dill carry it on. And as he has hitherto found it diffi
cult to colled the money due him by country fubfertbers,
(many of whom have not fettled with him from the begin
ning of his publication in April 1763) he finds it nccefiary
to acquaint them, that for the future he expeds thej will
a/point fomc person in town to pay the fame when it be
comes due. He will be at a confidcrable expcnce for paper
and the damp-duty, which mud be duly paid every week t#
the damp-officer, and therefore begs that all who may fa
vour him with their fubferiptions will be very pandual in their
payments. —All persons indebted to him for printing-work,
gazettes, advertisements, book , and stationary, are rc
quelled to fettle, having fevcral prefling demands againd
him which mud be fpcedily anfwcicd ; the greatest part of
the money due him oeing in small trifling dims, he hopes
this reasonable request will be complied with by immedi
ate payment.
