This volume focuses specifically on the events surrounding the conquest of Manila by the British in the years 1762 to 1765. It compiles a range of documents, letters, journals, and narratives that illustrate the political, commercial, and religious conditions present during this critical period in Philippine history. The opening of this historical volume introduces the central theme, detailing the unfolding events of the British occupation of Manila during the Seven Years' War. It emphasizes the contrasting perspectives of both Spanish and British sources, showcasing the strategies employed, the initial conquests, and the subsequent administrative challenges faced by both colonial powers. Noteworthy figures such as Admiral Samuel Cornish and General William Draper emerge in letters that recount military operations and the negotiations surrounding the surrender and temporary control of Manila, highlighting both the military engagements and the socio-political ramifications of these events. The detailed accounts set a foundation for understanding the broader context of colonial relationships in the Philippines during the late 18th century. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
