It says "The following is the dedication of James Lambert a soldier of the Revolutionary wars with the Americas."

blah blah blah

I'm not too sure about that reading, I got "The following is the declaration of James Lambert a soldier of the Revolutionary War in South America." rather different

  Hmm, interesting: “North America” does make sense, and 4o also seems to transcribe it that way, but the handwriting looks like it says “South America” to me.

Yes, that seems right. Not that difficult. This one suffers from some poor penmanship, though.
