Excerpt from William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, and the Growth and Division of the British Empire, 1708-1778
As regards the latter half Of Chatham's life, and his connection with the resistance of the American colonies, the History of America edited by Dr. Win sor is the most comprehensive authority. I desire especially to mention two recent works illustrating this period: The Literary History of the American Revolution 1763 - 1783, by Professor Coit Tyler, and A Short History of British Colonial Policy, by Mr. H. E. Egerton. A brochure by Herr von Raville, William Pitt and Graf Bute (berlin, sets forth a novel and interesting theory of the connection between the two men, and attempts to provethat Bute as well as Pitt was prosecuting a national policy. An ingenious American writer and an Irish scholar have sought to show that Lord Chatham was the author of the 9'unius letters, but I have re sisted the temptation to discuss their theory.
