George Mason: Letter to the Committee of Merchants in London

( 1766 ) Commentary by Michael J. O'Neal, Ph.D., and Nicole Mitchell, University of Alabama at Birmingham
  • “Let our fellow-Subjects in Great Britain reflect that we are descended from the same Stock with themselves, nurtured in the same Principles of Freedom … that We are still the same People with them, in every Respect; only not yet debauched by Wealth, Luxury, Venality, & Corruption; and then they will be able to judge how the late Regulations have been relished in America.” - Letter to the Committee of Merchants in London
