Some Observations on a Pamphlet is a 1776 work by Hugh Baillie, written as a rejoinder to a pro-Parliament tract defending Britain’s authority over the American colonies. In it, Baillie pushes back against loyalist arguments — particularly those associated with writers like Dr. Shebbeare and Dr. Johnson — challenging the claim that Great Britain held sovereign rights that overrode the declarations of the American Continental Congress.
