From the end of the Seven Years War to the British acceptance of
complete American Independence, British colonial policy was the
subject of an intense print debate on both sides of the Atlantic.
Until now, scholarly attention has focused on the American
literature. This eight volume facsimile edition of selected rare
British pamphlets widens the debate. British opinion on the
American crisis was sharply divided. What was the constitutional
legitimacy of Britain's American policies? Should the colonies be
forcefully subdued? Should their bid for independence continue
unopposed? Or should peaceful attempts at reconciliation aim to
keep them within the British Empire? If the colonies were lost,
what would the consequences be for Britain? The pamphlets
reproduced here represent the multi-faceted debate on both sides of
the political divide in Britain. They are organised chronologically
in two parts, taking the start of American armed resistance in 1775
as the dividing point. All of these rare documents are republished
for the first time and are reproduced in full.
