Notes:

"Lord Percy moved an address to his Majesty, congratulating him on the birth of a Princess, &c.

and echoing back to the throne the sentiments which his Majesty was graciously pleased to express in his speech, steadily to pursue measures of hostility against America, in order 'to recover the affection and restore the confidence of the colonies,' - and in 'hopes of some important success'" (p.3).
