A Letter to the Right Honourable the Earl of Hilsborough, on the present situation of affairs in America. In which the arguments in favour of the colonies, are placed in a new point of view, and their rights and privileges are incontestibly demonstrated on constitutional principles, supported by unanswerable arguments drawn from their ancient original charters, and the circumstances attending their first settlement. Together with a serious and impartial consideration of the consequences which must necessarily result from the exercise of coercive measures, to compel them to a submission to the late acts of Parliament. Also an appendix in answer to a pamphlet intituled, The constitutional right of Great-Britain to tax the colonies. [Two lines in Latin]
