"A Letter to Lord Robert Bertie" by Anonymous is a historical account written in the mid-18th century. The book takes the form of a letter, addressing Lord Robert Bertie's conduct during a military expedition in the Mediterranean and his subsequent defense of Admiral Byng, who faced public censure for a naval defeat. The letter serves as both a critique and a call for accountability regarding the failures of that expedition. In the letter, the anonymous author articulates deep concern over Lord Bertie's actions and the larger implications of the military failures on British honor and safety. The author expresses disappointment in Lord Bertie’s choices, particularly in not reinforcing the beleaguered fortress of St. Philip’s and ultimately supporting Admiral Byng's controversial retreat. The tone ranges from solicitude to stern admonition, as the writer implores Lord Bertie to reflect on his decisions and the disgrace that followed, emphasizing the need for a serious examination of responsibility among those in power to recognize failures and restore the nation’s esteem.
