Excerpt from Works, Vol. 2
The late administration came into employment, under the mediation of the Duke of Cumberland, on the tenth day of July 1765; and was removed, upon a plan settled by the Earl of Chatham, on the thirtieth day of July 1766, having lasted just one year and twenty days.
In that space of time
The distractions of the British empire were composed, by the repeal of the American stamp act;
But the constitutional superiority of Great Britain was preserved, by the act for securing the dependence of the colonies.
Private houses were relieved from the jurisdiction of the exercise, by the repeal of the cyder-tax.
The personal liberty of the subject was confirmed, by the resolution against general warrants.
