The Second Falklands Crisis; end of the Years of Confusion; the Convention of Peace

Volume 1 ends just before the beginning of the Second Falklands Crisis of 1831-3, unleashed by Argentina's representative in the islands, Louis Vernet, who seized three American sealing ships."--Provided by the publisher.

Sherard Osborn, the author's maternal great great grandfather, was the son of an officer in the Madras Army. This is a privately printed biography of Osborn, who was involved in fighting the opium trade, particularly the Second Opium War.
