POSTSCRIPT TO PREFACE IN THE THIRD EDITION
 P. S. The Publication of this new Edition hath been delayed, with a |
| View of taking notice (had it been necessary) of any Attempt to |
| refute the Doctrine of Independance: As no Answer hath yet appeared, |
| it is now presumed that none will, the Time needful for getting such |
| a Performance ready for the Public being considerably past. |
| Who the Author of this Production is, is wholly unnecessary to the |
| Public, as the Object for Attention is the DOCTRINE ITSELF, not the |
| MAN. Yet it may not be unnecessary to say, That he is unconnected |
| with any Party, and under no sort of Influence public or private, but |
| the influence of reason and principle. |
Philadelphia, February 14, 1776.
