Note 1288 — Chapter VIII

Parl. Reg., x. p. 48. Flavored as follows in a communication quoted in Almon's Remembrancer, viii. p. 328: "God and nature hath put into our hands the scalping-knife and tomahawk, to torture them into unconditional submission." Burgoyne's opinions at this time became important; they are in his speeches (Parl. Reg.), his letter to the secretary of state (Ryerson's Loyalists), his address to the Indians (Anburey's Travels), and elsewhere (Hadden's Journal and Orderly-Book, etc.). Cf. also Gent. Mag., March, 1778; McKnight's Burke, ii. 213; Walpole and Mason Corresp., i. 335; Fonblanque's Burgoyne.—Ed.
