A fascinating new resource for historians and people who like well-reasoned arguments on weighty issues — published in 1773. A Collection of Tracts, on the Subjects of Taxing the British Colonies in America, and Regulating Their Trade.: Volume I is now available in both Kindle and paperback versions.
Finally, we’ve created the first version in modern typeface and the first true digital version of these classic contemporary writings about the issues preceding the U.S. Revolutionary War. Both the Kindle and the paperback contain the full contents of the original Volume I — 83,000+ words, including all the footnotes.
For the first time, you can read this book without having to deal with those funny-looking s’s.
This is Volume 1 of 4. It contains:
Authentic Account of the Congress held at New York, in 1765.
Considerations on the Propriety of Taxing the Colonies. By Mr. Delaney.
The late Regulations, &c. considered. By Mr. Dickenson.
The late Occurrences, &c. considered.
Enquiry into the Right, &c. by Mr. Bland.
Two Papers on the Subject of Taxing.
Application of Political Rules.
There’s so much in this book that was hard to take in from the original manuscript but that comes through fresh as daylight with this digital version. A good read — and much of it, including the arguments for freedom, ring true and relevant today, centuries later.
