The Congress must agree not to purchase or use the Manufactures of Great Britain until the Acts are repealed, as the only means of preserving the Liberty of the Country, 641 |
| 27. | Address to the Inhabitants of New-Jersey. Defence of the measures of Parliament, a denial of the authority of Great Britain to impose a Duty on Tea, absurd.

| 28, | Address to the Gentlemen of the General Convention of Virginia. Stoppage of Trade with Great Britain will not procure a redress of Grievances. It is better to throw aside all temporizing methods. Let die Congress demand a ratification of our claims from the King and Parliament. If denied, we shall be prepared for the alternative. With the Sword our fore-fathers obtained their rights—by the Sword it is our duty to defend them, 647 |
| 28, | The British American, No. 9. If Great Britain should attempt to enforce the legislation of Parliament in America, the Americans must draw their Swords in a just cause, and rely on that God who assists the righteous. Thomson Ma-son avows himself the author of these Letters, 648 |

| 30, | Letter from London to a Gentleman in New-York. Fears there will be a want of union among the Colonies. Without this, any expedients they may adopt will avail little, 661 |
| 30, | Letter from London to a Gentleman in New-York. A general suspension of Commerce, until our grievances are redressed, is the only safe and sure measure. The Ministry believe that the terror of their measures will make all America silent and submissive, 662 |
| 30, | Queries relating to the Resolutions of some Gentlemen, styling themselves a Committee of the City of New-York, (Note,) 318 |
| 31, | Letter from Lieutenant Governour Bull to the Earl of Dartmouth. An universal spirit of jealousy is raised against Great Britain.
