About the book >.>.> On Clifton Down above Bristol, in an area of green near Christ Church now dissected by roads and roundabouts, still stand two monuments, an obelisk and a cenotaph. In their isolation, lacking the bombastic surrounds of public statuary, they seem to embody the expression of some private and distant tribute. Both monuments were, and remain, gestures of loyalty from the man who originally commissioned them, Lieutenant-General Sir William Draper. They, and the nearby sign marking Manilla Road, are the residual ghosts of a man, and of events, which in their time commanded the attention of the whole of the nation. The obelisk, dedicated to William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, and the cenotaph dedicated to the 79th Regiment of Foot, Draper's Regiment, had been created for the garden of Sir William's house, Manilla Hall, which he had built on Clifton Down following his return from successful command of the expedition which captured Manila, capital of the Philippine Islands, from Spain in 1762, towards the end of the Seve.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The capture of Manila from the Spanish in October 1762 caused William Pitt the Elder to refer to the General that commanded it, William Draper, as ''Manila's gallant conqueror.'' Draper became a figure of public controversy after becoming the victim of the political satirist ''Junius,'' and incidentally left a lasting legacy from his involvement with drafting the laws of cricket. Using previously unpublished sources, James Dreaper has produced a groundbreaking new assessment of this powerful military figure, and a fascinating portrait of the times in which he served.
