CHAPTER IX DEADLOCK OVER THE TEA SHIPS. BOSTON TEA PARTY ALL this time the East India Company was feeling its lack of a market. Seventeen million pounds of tea1 are said to have been heaped up in its warehouses awaiting American buyers. The members had been doubtful of Lord North's scheme from the first, and would have preferred the old method of paying an export tax and assessing it in the price to the consumer. The company, however, was much concerned at this moment, lest it should forfeit its charter; irregularities in India having been made a pretext for investigation, and Lord Clive at once censured, thanked, and pardoned.2 Rather than do anything to incur the King's displeasure, the company let matters for a time take their course, but at length, threatened with bankruptcy, the members resolved tea should be sent out at all hazards. The people of the Colony meanwhile were as set as ever in their determination to abstain from its use. A rhyme of the day runs: 3 Rouse every generous, thoughtful mind; The rising danger flee: If you would lasting freedom find, Now, then, abandon tea. Scorn to be bound with golden chains, Though they allure the sight: Bid them defiance, if they claim Our freedom and birthright. 1 Out Country, II, 698. Lossing. 'Life of Fox, 436. Trevelyan. * Colonial Days, 99. Markham. Shall we our freedom give away, And all our comfort place In drinking of outlandish tea, Only to please our taste? Forbid it, Heaven! let us be wise, And seek our country's good; Nor ever let a thought arise That tea should be our food. Since we so great a plenty have Of all that's for our health, Shall we that blasted herb receive, Impoverishing our wealth? Adieu, away, 0 Tea! begone! Salute our taste no more; Though thou art coveted by...

A PRIVATE LETTER FROM NEW ENGLAND, NOV. 15, 1777, TO OCT. 10, 1778.* Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 15, 1777. My Dear Friends: At last we have arrived at Cambridge, where we poor unfortunates can claim neither to be free nor captives. If I were to write and tell you that every thing is as it should be here I would be stating a base falsehood. However, if I wished to excite your sympathy to the highest pitch by my complaints, I fear I should afterward regret the tears I should cause to flow. The Americans, who, for politeness sake, are no longer termed Rebels or Yankees, are very often unable to determine to which class of people in * As is well known, Burgoyne's defeat at Saratoga changed the whole complection of affairs for the colonists. This great event is here described even to the most minute details by an eye-witness, who has the great faculty of making the reader imagine himself an eye-witness of these stirring events.--Note by Schlozer. their state we properly belong.* It is true that we are somewhat confined. As a matter of fact, we are allowed a well defined circle, the bounds of which we are not to overstep under penalty of being sent to the prison-ship or shot. We, however, make the most of the little liberty we possess in our villages of palisades, and now and then play the gentleman among our conquerers. You are doubtless very anxious to know exactly how we arrived at the High School of Cambridge where the students live in the well-built Collegia Harvardino; attend college in comical-looking dressinggowns, and are summoned three times daily to breakfast, dinner, and supper, by the sound of a bell. Paper and ink, however, are too dear in this place, to go into minute details of occurrences from the 1st of September up to the present...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Correspondence of the American Revolution, Vol. 2: Being Letters of Eminent Men to George Washington, From the Time of His Taking Command of the Army to the End of His Presidency From The President Of Congress. Yorktown, 9 October, 1777. Sir, The absolute necessity of cutting off all supplies and intelligence from the enemy, in and near the city of Philadelphia, and thereby preventing any intercourse between them and the disaffected in the State of Pennsylvania and elsewhere, has induced the Congress to adopt the inclosed resolves, in hopes, if possible, to put an effectual stop to a practice so extremely dangerous to the cause of America. They have, for this end, authorized you to sentence, by court-martial, any person convicted of either of the above-mentioned offences, or of acting as a guide or pilot, to suffer death, or such other punishment as may be thought adequate, provided he is taken within thirty miles of any town in Pennsylvania, Jersey, or Delaware, that is in possession of the enemy. They have also recommended to the good people of this and the other States to be vigilant in apprehending and securing all such persons as may be caught in the violation of the inclosed resolves, to which I beg leave to refer your attention. Your favor of the 5th instant was duly received, and immediately laid before Congress. I have the honor to be, with the greatest respect, Sir, Your most obedient and very humble servant, John Hancock, President.
