Note 213 — Chapter I · (continued 2)

The notes include comments on the Protest of the Lords against the repeal of the Stamp Act (Franklin, iv. 206); on A letter from a merchant in London (iv. 211); on Good Humour, or a way with the Colonies (iv. 215); on An inquiry into the nature and causes of the present disputes (iv. 281); on The true constitutional means of putting an end to the disputes (iv. 298). On Franklin in London at this time, see Sparks's Franklin, vii. 338, 350, 354, etc. The tracts above noted are said by Sparks to be in the Philadelphia Athenæum, but some of these titles appear, as having Franklin's notes, in the Brinley Catal. ii. nos. 3,218-22. Israel Mauduit's Short View of the Hist. of the Colony of Mass. Bay (Lond., 1769) is noted in Brinley, and not by Sparks.
