"King Takes Queen is a big book - and a very satisfying one. It tells a story that is scarcely believable: how a single man killed his love, his conscience, and the faith of his countrymen all in six short years. And it's all true!" - Michael Hirst

Seller's Description:
Extracted from a bound volume with its half-title, 8vo, pp. [iv], 31. A nice clean copy. Evans 8811; Sabin 10684n. Henry Caner (c.1700-1792), born near Bristol, soon emigrated with his family to the New England colonies. After graduating from Yale University, Caner was ordained in 1727 in the Church of Engand and appointed as a missionary for the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG). He returned to the colonies as a missionary to Connecticut and Massachusetts, becoming a leading Church of England clergyman. In 1747 he was named rector of King's Chapel in Boston, the most important Anglican Church in New England. A staunch Tory Loyalist, Caner criticized the British government for its handling of the colonies. As many Loyalists did, Caner left for London in 1776 during the early part of the War for Independence and remained in England, living in Cardiff, South Wales and Bristol until he died in 1792. Caner praises George the second and wishes George III well.
