To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
5 When I was amongst my constituents at the last sum mer assizes, I remember that men of all descriptions did then express a very strong desire for peace, and no slight hopes of attaining it from the commission sent out by my Lord Howe. And it is not a little remarkable, that, in pro- 10 portion as every person showed a zeal for the court meas ures, he was then earnest in circulating an opinion of the extent of the supposed powers of that commission. When I told them that Lord Howe had no power...s to treat, or to promise satisfaction on any point whatsoever of the con- 15 troversy, I was hardly credited ; so strong and general was the desire of terminating this war by the method of ac commodation. As far as I could discover, this was the temper then prevalent through the kingdom. The king s forces, it must be observed, had at that time been obliged 20 to evacuate Boston. The superiority of the former cam paign rested wholly with the colonists. If such powers of treaty were to be wished, whilst success was very doubt ful, how came they to be less so, since his Majesty s arms have been crowned with many considerable advantages?
