The case of the Hon. Admiral Byng, ingenuously represented : His conduct and behaviour in the expedition to the mediterranean, and in the engagement off mahon, examined, without regard to party-prejudice or popular clamour. And the most material part of the evidence on his trial fairly stated: with such reflections and observations as naturally arise from a view of the whole proceedings against him. Likewise his letter to the secretary of the admiralty, requiring his witnesses, and demanding speedy justice; with remarks thereon. Also two letters from M. Voltaire and the Marshal Duke De Richlieu to Mr. Byng. With an account of his execution; his behaviour in his last moments; and an exact copy of the paper he delivered to the Marshal of the admiralty a minute before he was shot. Also an elegy on his death. To which is prefixed, The admiral's head, curiously engraved.
