An Account of the most remarkable civil transactions of Her Majesty's Reign, particularly her uniting the two crowns of England and Scotland, a work which had been in vain attempted by many of her royal predecessors; together with the most memorable victories gained by her admirals at sea, as the reduction of the whole island of Minorca, the taking of Gibraltar, and raising the siege of that place, and the rendering the descent of the pretender in Scotland ineffectual, without harrassing the people with any extraordinary levies or taxes.
