Note 404 — Chapter II · (continued 2)

This tract (Brinley, i. no. 1,434; Sabin, iv. 14,536) was the work of John Colman, who followed it later in the same year with The distressed state of the town of Boston once more considered, etc. (Brinley, no. 1,439; Sabin, iv. no. 14,537), which was induced by an answer to his first tract, called A letter from one in the Country to his friend in Boston, 1720 (Brinley, i. no. 1,435, and nos. 1,436-37 for the sequel; also Sabin, iv. 14,538). There were further attacks on the council in News from Robinson Crusoe’s island, with attendant criminations (Brinley, i. nos. 1,440-42).
