Small hole in title-page with loss of one letter. 32 pp. *** FIRST EDITION; a Dublin edition appeared later the same year.

Written anonymously by the younger brother of Sir Robert Walpole, British prime minister from 1721-1742, The Grand Question essentially argues the prime minister's own position against a declaration of war against Spain.
