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.

"This is, in truth, a most fiery politician, and his pamphlet a mere firebrand. In reply to the objections of the colonists to a standing army, he says that they have need of the gentlemen of the blade, to polish and refine their manners, to rub off the rust of puritanism, &c." M. R.
