Excerpt from Admiral Vernon and the Navy: A Memoir and Vindication; Being an Account of the Admiral's Career at Sea and in Parliament, With Sidelights on the Political Conduct of Sir Robert Walpole and His Colleagues, and a Critical Reply to Smollett and Other Historians In the United States of America Vernon's untiring and gallant services to the West Indies, and therefore to the mainland colonies, met with cordial recognition.
