Excerpt from The Wellesley Magazine, Vol. 6: March 19, 1898

It is as a patriot and a statesman that James Otis has these great claims upon the gratitude of his countrymen. The first scene of the great drama which terminated so fatally for_ him, so brilliantly for his countrymen, is near the close of the second French war. Never had the power of England seemed so great, never could a contest between her and her colonies have seemed so hopeless or so impossible. Never were the colonies more attached to Great Britain than then. The Colonial troops had fought side by side with the veterans of England. Shouting for the same king and charging under the same victorious banners, they had swept like a storm along the bloody plains of Abraham, and proud of their common success, proud of their unstained loyalty, they boasted themselves to be Britons.

The colonies, with a chivalric loyalty, had taxed themselves year after year to carry on England's war against the French; so extreme were these self-imposed burdens that at one time the taxes in Boston amounted to two thirds of the entire income of the real estate; and yet no sooner was the 'war in America ended by the capitulation of the Canadas, than a system of artful and insidious measures was instituted to extend the royal power, to levy new and illegal taxes, and to enslave the colonies.
