To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is immaterial whether it be a tax on stamps or on cotton: this question has already been the subject of a long and bloody war, and it can hardly be supposed that America will now submit to a direct attack on her sovereign and in dependent rights. For the question of our right to search mer chant ships for our seamen, provided a proper apology were made for the attack on their ship of war, I believe few Americans would be dis- posed to go to war. Even the assertion of the rule of 1756, if it ...had been brought forward early in the w ar, be- fore America had fitted out an immense commer- mercial marine; if it had been equally enforced against other neutral powers ; and if effectual means had been devised to secure from molesta- tion their accustomed peace trade; would have left a very large portion of the American people averse to war. But the vigorous framers of our Orders in Council, disdaining the benefits which might 129 be derived from disuniting their enemy, have^ by devoting* to the same indiscriminate destruction the interest of the farmer, of the merchant, and of every description of persons, taken effectual care to prevent that disunion, which their advo- cates affect to expect.
