This will seem to proceed from your zll-wzll or your tgnorance, and contribute further to produce and strengthen an opinion among them that you are no longer fit to govern them.: 20.

Let him have troops enough under his command, with all the fortresses in his possession; and who knows but (like some provincial generals in the Roman empire, and encouraged by the universal discontent you have produced) he may take it into his head to set up for himself? If he should, and you have carefully practised the few excellent rules of mine, take my word for it, all the provinces will immediately join him; and you will that day (if you have not done it sooner) get rid of the trouble of gov- erning them, and all the plagues attending their com- merce and connection from thenceforth and forever.* 1 As the reader may be inclined to divide his belief between the wisdom of the ministry and the candor and veracity of Dr. Franklin it may be stated that two contrary objections may be made to the truth of this representation. The first is, that the conduct of Great Britain is made foo absurd for possibility; and the second, that it is not made absurd enough for fact. If we consider that this writing does not include the measures subsequent to 1773, the latter difficulty is easily set aside. The former can only be solved by the many instances in history where the infatuation of individuals has brought the heaviest calamities upon nations. 2 A new and handsome edition of the above piece was published at London in 1793. 166 ew
