Présentation de l'éditeur :
The two paniihlets rcpriutoil in this yolume were issued aiionyiuously iu 1774. On the title i age of the first there has been written by a. contemporary hand By John Randolph esq. his majes. attorney genl. of that colony brother to the speaker of the ho. of assembly who is chairman at the general congress held at Philadelphia. The only copy I have been able to find is in the Xew York Public Library. There is nothing in the pamphlet that discloses the author to a certainty. There is strong presumptive evidence, however, that John Randolph was the writer; for he is referred to by Nicholas iu the second pamphlet as being one who was in attendance at one or more courts of the colony, and again as a memlter of the House of Rurgesses who was present when the bill appointing a day for a fast was adopted. John Randolph was born in 1727, the son of Sir John Randolph. He was trained for the law, and became one of the leading lawyers of the colony, in 1760 succeeding his brother, Peyton Randolph, as attorney-general, a position wliich ho retained until he left Virginia in 1775. It was permissible under the colonial government for an ofiicial to be also a member of the House of Burgesses. In the session of May, 1774, and again in June, 1775, he was a raeuiber of that body, representing the College of William and Mary. On leading the colony, he took with him his wife and daughters A riana and Susannah. The family spent some time in the Scotch house of Lord Dunmore, and it was there tliat his daughter A riana was married to James Wormeley.
