[Whately, Thomas]:

$1,750 · Offered by William Reese Company

THE REGULATIONS LATELY MADE CONCERNING THE COLONIES, AND THE TAXES IMPOSED UPON THEM, CONSIDERED. Although sometimes attributed to George Grenville, this was actually written by one of his secretaries, Thomas Whately. An important Stamp Act pamphlet, setting forth the views of the Ministry relating to its rights to taxation in the American colonies, and arguing that the American colonies are "virtually represented" in Parliament. Interesting for the conflicting response from Caribbean and North American colonies to proposed taxes.
