Excerpt from A Letter From Edmund Burke, Esq.: One of the Representatives in Parliament for the City of Bristol, to John Farr and John Harris, Esqrs; Sheriffs of That City, on the Affairs of America I am perfectly united. We are heartily agreed in our deteftation of a civil war. We have ever exprefled the molt unqualified difappro bation of all the fieps which have led to it, and of all thofe which tend to prolong it. And I have no doubt that we feel exactly the fame emotions of grief and thame on all its mife rable confequences; whether they appear, on the one fide or the other, in the ihape of vic tories or defeats; of captures made from the Engliih on the continent, or from the Englifh in theic iflands; of legiflative regulations which fubvert the liberties of our brethren, or which undermine our own.
