Remarks on American Affairs

Remarks on American Affairs is a short pamphlet written by John Day during the period of rising tensions between Britain and the American colonies. The work suggest it was part of the lively British pamphlet literature debating colonial policy in the years leading up to the American Revolution. As a period piece from a London publisher, it likely reflects a British perspective on the political and economic disputes with the American colonies that would soon erupt into open conflict.
