An Answer To A Pamphlet: Entitled Taxation No Tyranny (1775)

By Samuel Johnson

Book Overview

""An Answer to a Pamphlet: Entitled Taxation No Tyranny"" is a book written by Samuel Johnson in 1775. The book serves as a response to a pamphlet written by a fellow Englishman, Dr. Johnson, who argues that the colonists in America should not resist the taxes imposed on them by the British government. In his response, Samuel Johnson argues that the colonists have every right to resist these taxes and that the British government's actions are indeed tyrannical. He also argues that the British government has not properly represented the interests of the colonists and that they have been unfairly treated. This book is an important historical document that sheds light on the political climate of the time and the arguments that were being made on both sides of the debate. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history and the American Revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
