With observations on the commercial, beneficial, and perpetual union of the colonies with this kingdom, London. &c. 8vo. pp. 46.

"One of the most formidable attacks that hath as yet been made on the late administration, and seems to be the production of some ingenious and well instructed writer, strongly attached to Mr. Grenville. The American stamp act is the grand object of his attention, and he confines himself in this tract to the examination of the conduct of the ministry, with regard to it, from the time at which they came into office to that at which it was repealed." M. R. The author of a letter to G. G. (No. 9, 1767) calls this Mr. G[renville]'s elaborate pamphlet on the stamp act. 17 AN ACCOUNT of a late conference on the occurrences in London.

The author is supposed to be Joshua Steele, esq. 18 THE TRUE INTEREST of Great Britain, with regard to her American colonies, stated and impartially considered. By a merchant of London. 8νο. London. This rational and candid politician appears to be a thorough master of his subject. He shews the impolicy of distressing the Americans by ill-devised taxes, restrictions and prohibitions, and proves that, although the stamp-duty has been the ostensible cause of the late disturbances, it was in fact but a small portion of their grievances. 19 THE ADVENTURE of a bale of goods from America, in conse- 1766. quence of the stamp act. 8vo.

Quarto. This author undertakes to prove that the colonies ought not, in sound policy, 24 THE LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY of the British Parliament, with 1766. 25 THE CRISIS; or a full defence of the colonies; in which it is incontestibly proved that the British constitution has been flagrantly violated in the stamp-act; and rendered indisputably evident, that the mother country cannot lay an arbitrary tax upon the Americans, without destroying the essence of her own liberties. London. 8vo. A warm defender of the colonists, who asserts, in opposition to some of the advocates of the stamp act, that the colonies are not all virtually represented in the British Parliament. 26 A LETTER to the gentlemen of the committee of London merchants, trading to North America; shewing in what manner the trade and manufactures of Britain may be affected by some late restrictions on the American commerce, and by the act for the stamp duty, &c.

In a letter from a gentleman to his friend in America. London. 8vo. "This writer maintains the right of Parliament to a supreme and uncontrollable jurisdiction, internally and externally, over the properties and persons of the subjects in the colonies." M. R. 28 A LETTER from a merchant in London to his nephew in NorthAmerica, relative to the present posture of affairs in the colonies. London. 8vo. On the same side of the question as the feregoing, but written with less moderation.

"This short and friendly gentleman tilts furiously at the colonies; and 1766. assures the good people of England that they must all be unavoidably ruined by a repeal of the stamp act." M. R. 31 GOOD HUMOUR; or away with the colonies. Wherein is occasionally enquired into, Mr. Pitt's claim to popularity; and the principles of virtuous liberty, as taught in the school of Mr. Wilkes, and other peripatetics. London. 8vo. Another fruitless attempt to stem the tide, which hath run so irresistibly 32 A SHORT HISTORY of the conduct of the present ministry, with regard to the American stamp act. 8vo. London.

R. 34* THE JUSTICE AND NECESSITY of taxing the American colonies, demonstrated. Together with a vindication of the authority of Parliament. 8vo. London.

M. R. 8vo. 35 SOME STRICTURES on the late occurrences in North America. London. These strictures are very weak and trivial. The author insists on the Parliament's right of taxation, whether the Americans are exempted by their charters or not; and as for these, he intimates they ought to be revoked! M. R. 36 THE LATE REGULATIONS respecting the British colonies on the continent of America, considered. In a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia to his friend in London London. 8vo.
