SAWBRIDGE, Mayor.A Common Council holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the City of London, on Thursday the 14th day of March, 1776. RESOLVED, That the thanks of this Court be given to the Reverend Richard Price, Doctor in Divinity, Fellow of the Royal Society, for having laid down, in his late publication of “Observations on the Nature of Civil Liberty, &c.” those sure principles, upon which alone the supreme legislative authority of Great Britain over her Colonies can be justly or beneficially maintained; and for holding forth those public objects, “without which it must be totally indifferent to the Kingdom, who are IN, or who are OUT of power.” It is Ordered, That the said Resolution be fairly transcribed, and signed by the Town Clerk; and by him delivered to the said Reverend Doctor Richard Price. A motion being made, and question put, That the Freedom of this City be presented, in a Gold Box of the value of Fifty Pounds, to the Reverend Doctor Richard Price, as a grateful testimony of the approbation of this Court for his late pamphlet, intitled, “Observations on the Nature of Civil Liberty, the Principles of Government, and the Justice and Policy of the War with America;” and that the Chamberlain do attend him with the same—the same was resolved in the affirmative, and ordered accordingly. This Court doth desire the Right honourable the Lord Mayor to provide the Gold Box upon this occasion. RIX. |
