Author Description

Excerpt from Letter to an English Friend on the Rebellion in the United States, and on British Policy I join with you in your desire of peace and good understanding. I like your spirit of patriotism, and smile approbation at your readiness to take up a rie, even at the age of seventy, to defend the honor of your country, should it be endangered. But, my dear sir, you have no occasion to don your harness; your country is not, nor has it been likely to be.
