Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Diary and Letters of His Excellency Thomas Hutchinson, Esq.: B.A. (Harvard), LL. D. (Oxon;), Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of His Late Majesty´s Province of Massachusetts Bay, in North America; With an Account of His Administration When He Was Member and Speaker of the House of Representatives, and His Gove This book will fill an important blank in the history of the outbreak of the American Revolution. There is a manifest gap in the British annals of that period; and it is remarkable how few English historians have exerted themselves to stop it, or have tried to vindicate their country in the steps she took in that important contest, whilst the industry and the activity continually manifested on the other side, in the number of publications of different sorts that have been put forth and introduced into the English market, have not escaped observation. England followed no course but the one prescribed to her by the laws enacted in Parliament, and having kept to this constitutional line she has had nothing to vindicate. If her governors, who, as the King´s representatives, had to sustain that authority, had swerved or fallen away from it, they would have become rebels. No servant of the Crown ever received more slander, personal abuse, and misrepresentation, than Thomas Hutchinson in Massachusetts, and yet his descendants have allowed a whole century to elapse without making an effort to defend his character.
