They submitted will- ingly to the government of the crown, and paid, in their courts, obedience to the acts of Parliament.

Measures will be taken that you may be joined by all the other agents. Boston, June 14th, 1764.” The question proposed to Dr. Franklin alludes to this sugar act in 1763. Dr. Franklin's answer particularly merits the attention of the historian and politician.
