This is Volume 1 of 4. It contains:

Considerations on the Propriety of Taxing the Colonies. By Mr. Delaney.
The late Regulations, &c. considered. By Mr. Dickenson.
The late Occurrences, &c. considered.

There’s so much in this book that was hard to take in from the original manuscript but that comes through fresh as daylight with this modernized version. A good read — and much of it, including the arguments for freedom, ring true and relevant today, centuries later.
