Colonising, or, a Plain Investigation of That Subject; with a Legislative, Political and Commercial View of Our Colonies
- Anonymous Pamphleteer 1774 (author)
- Jack P. Greene (collection editor)
Published anonymously in 1774, this pamphlet examines the relationship between Great Britain and its American colonies from legislative, political, and commercial perspectives. The pamphlet is part of the broader British debate over Parliament’s authority during the years leading up to the American Revolution, a period of intense public argument over the constitutional foundations of empire and the rights of colonists.
