Indignant Reflections on British Policy and Colonial Taxation
A fragmentary letter urges reform of British taxation toward unrepresented American colonies. It argues oppression damages Britain, predicts dissolution of Great Britain as a trading empire, and cites Burghs Political Disquisitions. The piece condemns internal taxation without consent and condemns levered penalties on colonies. It includes rhetoric on liberty, independence, and anti tyranny.
