An important document concerning the American Revolution beginning with King George III's admission that things were not going as planned in the American Colonies followed by a series of attacks on the administration by members of Parliament who felt the measures taken were poorly conceived and which Lord North attempted to rebut. Some highlights include: an account of the meeting between George Washington and General Howe's adjutant Lt. Col. Patterson read into the record following a complaint that though published in the Colonies the administration did not see fit to make them available in England; the costs of the War are listed in great detail; a bill to empower the King to secure and detain persons charged with or suspected of treason in America or the high seas including the suspension of Habeas Corpus is introduced and attacked as unlawful. Though mostly about North America there is a long section on the capture of the sloop Morning Star off the Mosquito Coast in Central America and a history of Britain's position there.

Charles Abbot elected Speaker of the House in 1801 ordered the Clerk of the House to gather and list all the papers in his custody which became the Abbot Collection this set fills in many gaps for the student of 18th Century Egnland.
