    A sequel to Common sense: or, the American controversy considered in two points of view hitherto unnoticed. First. - That Parliaments cannot be supreme in all cases whatsoever, without being infallible also. Second. - That Colonies, when they find themselves competent, that is, come of age, may, in consequence of an unanimity, nay, a majority of voices, throw off all subjection to the originating parent state, a power derived from God, and authorized by the necessity of things. By Theophilus Philadelphus.

    Philadelphus, Theophilus. | Date: MDCCLXXVII. [1777]
