Excerpt from The Appeal of a Free Spaniard to the Public Opinion of Europe: Exhibiting Traits of Unexampled and Unchristian Perudy on the Part of the French Government Towards Spain, in Seeking to Excite Insurrection, Civil War, and by Aggravating the Calamities of PestilenceIf universal darkness. Overspreading Europe, would be the inevitable consequence of the success of the coalesced despots, are not every other people of Europe equally interested with those of Spain, in averting so dreadful a calamity?

Be expedient, one thing 15, certain, that that inter ference is the most seasonable, by which the greatest sum of bloodshed, and of misery, may be averted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
