Excerpt from Plain Truth, Addressed to the Inhabitants of America; Containing Remarks on a Late Pamphlet, Intitled Common Sense: Wherein Are Shewn, That the Scheme of Independence Is Ruinous, Delusive, and Impracticable; That Were the Author"s Asseverations, Respecting the Power of America, as Real as Nugatory, Reconciliation on Liberal Principles With Great Britain Would Be Exalte
If, indignant at the doctrine contained in the pamphlet intitled Common Sense, I have expressed myself, in the following observations, with some ardor, I entreat the reader to impute my indignation to honest zeal against the author"s insidious tenets. Animated and impelled by every inducement of the human heart, I love, and (if I dare so express myself) I adore my country. Passionately devoted to true liberty, I glow with the purest flame of patriotism. Silver"d with age as I am, if I know myself, my humble sword shall not be wanting to my country (if the most honorable terms are not tendered by the British nation); to whose sacred cause I am most fervently devoted. The judicious reader will not impute my honest, though bold remarks, to unfriendly designs against my children - against my country; but to abhorrence of independency, which, if effected, would inevitably plunge our once preeminently envied country into ruin, horror, and desolation.
