Considerations on the Present State of Virginia: Attributed to John Randolph, Attorney General; And Considerations on the Present State of Virginia Examined (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Considerations on the Present State of Virginia: Attributed to John Randolph, Attorney General; And Considerations on the Present State of Virginia Examined
The two pamphlets reprinted in this volume were issued anonymously in 1774. On the title page of the first there has been written by a contemporary hand By John Randolph esq. His majes. Attorney gen]. Of that colony brother to the speaker of the ho. Of assem bly who is chairman at the general congress held at Philadelphia. The only copy I have been able to find is in the New York Public Library. There is nothing in the pamphlet that discloses the author to a certainty. There is strong presumptive evidence, however, that John Randolph was the writer; for he is referred to by Nicholas in the second pamphlet as being one who was in attendance at one or more courts of the colony,1 and again2 as a member of the House of Burgesses who was present when the bill appointing a day for a fast was adopted.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heated political landscape of colonial Virginia in the 1770s. The author, a prominent figure of the time, presents his perspective on the growing tensions between the colonies and Great Britain, particularly focusing on the controversial issue of taxation. Through a series of essays, the author dissects the arguments for and against the British Parliament's right to tax the colonies, examining the legal and philosophical underpinnings of both sides. He also explores the potential consequences of separation, analyzing the economic and social ramifications of such a drastic decision. The author, however, remains cautiously optimistic about reconciliation, urging for moderation and dialogue as a means to prevent the escalation of conflict. The book provides a fascinating window into the complex and multifaceted debate that raged within Virginia during this pivotal period, offering a valuable historical record of the intellectual and political climate that ultimately led to the American Revolution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
