[65] Jour. Va. House of Burgesses.
[66] Of this famous series of resolutions, the first five are here given precisely as they are given in Patrick Henry’s own certified copy still existing in manuscript, and in the possession of Mr. W. W. Henry; but as that copy evidently contains only that portion of the series which was reported from the committee of the whole, and was adopted by the House, I have here printed also what I believe to have been the preamble, and the last two resolutions in the series as first drawn and introduced by Patrick Henry. For this portion of the series, I depend on the copy printed in the Boston Gazette, for July 1, 1765, and reprinted in R. Frothingham, Rise of the Republic, 180 note. In Wirt’s Life of Henry, 56-59, is a transcript of the first five resolutions as given in Henry’s handwriting: but it is inaccurate in two places.
