- "The following Observation on Milford-Haven, were originally occasioned by allusions to it, in a letter from the late Lord Viscount Melville to the late Right Hon. Spencer Perceval, in 1810, on the establishment of a naval arsenal at Northfleet; and further, by remarks upon it, in a pamphlet published in 1810, by the Right Hon. George Rose, addressed to the late Right Hon. Lord Viscount Melville, on the then intended arsenal at Northfleet."--P. [iii].
Author and artist are unidentified, the former signing himself on p. 91 as Pembrocensis. The author may be Robert Greville (1751-1824).
