16 LETTERS ON THE AMERICAN WAR.

Addressed to the mayor

and corporation, and to the worthy burgesses of the town
of Kingston upon Hull. By David Hartley, esq. M.P. for

"In these letters Mr. Hartley lays before his constituents the proceedings
of the several sessions of this parliament with respect to the American
war, in order to prove that whatever deceptions may, from time to time,
have been used, or whatever pretexts may have been held out, coercion,
and not reconciliation, was from the very first the secret and adopted
plan, and this plan hath ever since been systematically and inflexibly
pursued." M.R.

Chalmers, speaking of Richard Tickell, says "that which raised him to immediate celebrity was his admirable political pamphlet, called Anticipation; in which, with the most successful humour, he imitated the manner of the principal speakers in parliament, and defeated the force of the arguments of the opposition, by pre-occupying them."

Cadell,

See No. 16 of 1776, and 24 of 1777. It appears that Dr. Price's tracts went through fourteen editions in three months. In this introduction the Doctor says, "we now see a great people likely to be formed, in spite of all our efforts, into free communities, under governments which have no religious tests and establishments!-A new æra in future annals, and a new opening in human affairs, beginning among the descendants of Englishmen in a new world! A rising empire, extending over an immense continent, without BISHOPS,-without NOBLES,—and without KINGS."

Davenhill,
This author is of opinion that long winters, reading, writing, and praying,
are great incentives to sedition; for, says he, you'll not meet with a
New Englander but has the Bible by heart, and all the laws of his pro-
vince. From which the Monthly Reviewer infers that "they are well
acquainted with their duty to God and the laws of their country, but do
not understand one word of unconditional obedience to the parliament of
Great Britain."

Kearsley,

"If the author of this pamphlet is not one of the American commissioners, he seems very, very proper to be added to their number. Modesty, perspicuity, an extensive knowledge of the subject, and a love of liberty, characterise these proposals, and render them worthy the serious and candid consideration of every one who wishes well to the British empire."

Dodsley,

"This very candid author, (William Pulteney, esq.) a member of parliament for Shrewsbury, appears to have written on purpose to prepare our minds for a plan of reconciliation, which, it is much to be apprehended, will come too late to prevent the loss of America. In the appendix to this pamphlet are some letters written by Dr. Franklin to Gov. Shirley, in 1754, in which the objections of the Americans to being taxed are so fully, ably, and clearly stated, that, as our author says, those who read them with attention, will probably think that hardly anything new has since been suggested on the subject." M.R.

35 AN APPEAL to reason and justice, in behalf of the British constitution and the subjects of the British empire. In which the present important contest with the revolted colonies is impartially considered, the inconsistency of modern patriotism is demonstrated, the supremacy of parliament is asserted on revolution principles, and American independence is proved to be a manifest violation of the rights of British subjects. To which is added, an appendix, containing remarks on a pamphlet, intitled Thoughts on the present state of affairs with America, by William Pulteney, esq. Nicoll,

8vo. pp.

"The writer of this elaborate appeal traverses again the beaten ground of
this exhausted controversy, in order to demonstrate the injustice and in-
gratitude of the rebellious Americans toward their very loving and indul-
gent parent. He was not probably aware that the pamphlet on which he
animadverts has generally been considered as a ministerial production,
and the harbinger of conciliatory proposals." M.R.
