Excerpt from Criminal History of the British Empire The Treaty of Utrecht (1713) was itself an infamy, as It was secretly negotiated, after the fashion of conspirators, Mr. Gardner says, and after the preliminaries had been secretly agreed upon, they actually communicated a false copy of them to the Dutch, their allies. England obtained the largest share of the material advantages of the peace, whilst she lost credit by her ill faith in concealing her abandonment of her allies, and especially by giving up the Catalans to the vengeance of Philip of Spain. This brave people had been encouraged to assist the allies, with the under standing and assurance that they would be protected.
