By the author of Considerations on the measures carrying on with respect to the British colonies in North-America. Bath; Printed by R. Cruttwell, for R. Baldwin, Pater-Noster-Row; and E. and C. Dilly, in the Poultry, London, 1776.

" An ably written work, against the American policy of Lord North. The author speaks of the totally inadequate forces England was sending to America, and discusses the just causes of America's revolt, among other statements, remarking, "that no reason can demonstrate the right of Great Britain to tax America or of America to tax Great Britain."
