A news publication that consists of 47 pages, complete, of the April 1774 edition including the cover and its table of contents, prices for grains, and weather forecasts, being disbound. Each page measures 8.25" x 4.75". An important issue with historic content on pages 166 to 169, where a Speech by Col. Isaac Barre is printed in full. Member of Parliament, Colonel Isaac Barr was a leader of the opposition party and a vehement advocate for the American colonies. Col. Barre spoke in firm opposition to a motion for a Bill introduced in the British Parliament for the Military Suppression of Riots in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Here, Col. Barre specifically referred to the "Boston Massacre," and foretold the future, where he stated:
"Captain Preston and the soldiers, who shed the blood of the people, were fairly tried, and fully acquitted. It was an American jury, a New-Engand jury, a Boston jury, which tried and acquitted them... Can you expect any more such instances of magnanimity under the principle of the bill now proposed?" With remarkable foresight and prevision, Barre stated further:
"The inevitable consequence (of your military suppression) will be, that you will produce the rebellion you pretend to obviate."
Isaac Barre (6 November 1726-20 July 1802) was an Anglo-Irish soldier and politician. He earned distinction serving with the British Army during the Seven Years' War and later became a prominent Member of Parliament, where he was a vocal supporter of William Pitt. He is known for coining the term "Sons of Liberty" in reference to American colonists who opposed the British government's policies.
Member of Parliament Colonel Isaac Barr was a strong leader of the opposition party and a vehement advocate for the American colonies, Barr was known for his 1765 "Sons of Liberty" speech opposing the Stamp Act (which imposed taxes on the colonies without their consent).
