The battle of the Swash and the capture of Canada

AND
THE CAPTURE OF CANADA.
BY
SAMUEL BARTON.
NEW YORK: CHARLES T. DILLINGHAM, 718 AND 720 BROADWAY.
DEDICATION
To the Senators and ex-Senators, Members and ex-Members, of past and present Congresses of the United States of America, who, by their stupid and criminal neglect to adopt ordinary defensive precautions, or to encourage the reconstruction of
THE AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE,
have rendered all American seaport towns liable to such an attack as is herein but faintly and imperfectly described, this historical forecast is dedicated; with much indignation and contempt, and little or no respect, by
THE AUTHOR.
