Excerpt from Appendix to the History of Great Britain, From the Revolution, 1688, to the Treaty of Amiens, 1802, Vol. 2 of 2
The project of taxing America either internally or externally for the express purpose of raising a reve nue to be paid into the exchequer of Great Britain, was a novelty in politics and legislation in the highest degree bold, alarming, and dangerous; and the stamp act, of which the fatal effects were so clearly and accurately pre dicted to Mr. Grenville, produced, immediately on the attempt being made to carry it into execution, the most dreadful disturbances. But that minister had been dis missed from his oliice some months before the accounts of these commotions had reached England. From the vast variety of letters and papers containing those accounts.

Thence they went to a new building lately erected by Mr. Oliver-this they called the slump office, and pulled it down to the ground in five minutes. From thence they went to Mr. Oliver's house, before which they beheaded (lie effigy, ami broke all the windows next (he street. Then they carried the effigy to Fort-hill, near Mr. Oliver's house, where they burnt the effigy in a bonfire made of (he timber they had pulled down from (lie building. Mr. Oliver had removed his family from his house, anil remained himself with a few friends, when (he mob related (o attack the bouse. Mr. Oliver was prevailed upon to retire, and his friends kept possession of tire! rouse. The mob finding the door barricaded, broke down the whole fence of the garden towards Fort-hill; and coming on, beat in all the doors and windows of the garden front, and entered the house, (he gentlemen (here retiring. As soon as (hey had got possession they searched about for Mr. Oliver, declaring (he would kill him. Finding that he had left the house, a party set out to search two neighbouring houses, in one of which Mr. Oliver was; but happily they were diverted from this pursuit, by a gentleman telling them that Mr. Oliver was gone with the governor of (he castle, otherwise he would certainly have been murdered.
After eleven o'clock, the mob seeming to grow quiet, die lieutenant-governor, chief justice, mid the sheriff, ventured to go to Mr. Oliver's house, to endeavour to persuade them to disperse. As soon as they began to speak, a ringleader cried out "the governor and the sheriff! to vour arms, rov boys!" presently after a volley of stones followed, and the two gentlemen narrowly escaped through favour of the night.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This work offers precious insight into the political and social upheavals surrounding the taxation of America in the mid-18th century. The book delves deep into the subject, providing analysis of the period's major figures, their decisions, and the consequences that flowed from them. The author takes a balanced approach, presenting the perspectives of both British and American colonists, and never shying away from the often-contradictory motivations present in this complex historical drama. The taxation of American goods was a political flashpoint that exposed deeper ideological fault lines between the British Parliament and the American colonies, and this book provides a rich account of this pivotal era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330711804_0
