Provides an account and description of Fort Montague, otherwise known as the house in the rock, and a charge delivered to Sir Thomas Hill appointing him as Governor of Fort Montague in 1791. There is some suggestion that this pamphlet was authored by Babara Hofland, but that is uncertain. See Butts, Mistress of our Tears, p.99. Slim 16mo. ESTC notes three variants of this pamphlet but does not note this one.
