Note 191 — Chapter I · (continued 2)

In recording the debates in Parliament, Bancroft (orig. ed., v. 383, 415) used the accounts in the Political Debates, in Walpole's Letters, the précis in the French archives, the report set down by Moffat of Rhode Island, and the copious extracts made by Garth, a member, who sent his notes to South Carolina. William Strahan's account is given in the Penna. Mag. of Hist., April, 1886, p. 95. It is said in P. O. Hutchinson's Governor Hutchinson (i. 288) that Pitt was in doubt at first which side to take. Cf. lives of Pitt and editions of his speeches, and the comment in Mahon, v. 133, 138, and Ryerson, i. 302. Smyth (ii. 365) considers the protest of the lords against the repeal (Protests of the Lords, ed. by J. E. T. Rogers, ii. 77) the best exposition of the government view of taxation. For a Paris edition of this Protests, with Franklin's marginal notes, see Brinley Catal., no. 3,219. See also, for English comment, Fitzmaurice's Shelburne (i. ch. 7), and Lecky, (iii. 344); and for American, Bancroft, v. 421, 450; Mem. Hist. of Boston, iii. 19; and in Franklin's Works (iv. 156; vii. 308, 317).
