Dissertations, on the Grand Dispute between Great-Britain and America
- Thomas Crowley (author)
- Jack P. Greene (collection editor)
This 10-page pamphlet written by Thomas Crowley and published in 1774, at the height of the political tensions that would soon erupt into the American Revolutionary War. The work engages with the central constitutional and political controversy of the era — the question of British parliamentary authority over the American colonies — and is part of a broader contemporary conversation that included documents such as the Continental Congress’s extracted votes.
