Note 728 — Chapter V
Reading edition
Coll. of S. C. Hist. Soc., i. p. 176. This letter may be sarcastic, if the “great dislike” of rebellion applies to the people, but we are sure it is untrue in saying that the almost unanimous action of South Carolina was the action of “several of the inhabitants.” It is likely, also, to be untrue in intimating that the assembly joined in such an address. Hawks, ii. p. 561. See Yonge’s account of the way in which the affairs of the Proprietors were often transacted by their secretary. Some Proprietors lived away from London; others were minors and represented by proxy.
