Extract

In reciting the symptoms of popular discontent in Massachusetts at the time of his recall, in 1774, Governor Hutchinson uses these words: “The people had been persuaded that their religion as well as their liberties was in danger. It was immaterial whether they had been deceived or not: the persuasion was the same; and this was what would cause them to go all lengths, and to surmount the greatest difficulties.” (Hist., vol. iii., p. 455.)
