Excerpt from A History of the American People, Vol. 2 of 5 Nicholson thus openly and definitely advised was what must occur to the mind of every thoughtful and Obser vant man who was given a post Of authority and guid ance in the colonies, whether he thought it wise to advise action in the matter or not. It was evident; indeed, even to some who were not deemed thoughtful at all.
