Speech of the Lord Mayor on Norths Motion Against the Americans
The Lord Mayor condemns the motion to address the King against America as unjust and costly. He argues taxation without consent breaches property and liberty, cites Calais as a precedent, praises American support in wars, and warns against civil war. He urges reconciliation and a possible assembly of Parliament and colonial deputies to settle quotas.
