Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Reply to General Joseph Reed's Remarks on a Late Publication in the Independent Gazetteer: With Some Observations on His Address to the People of Pennsylvania
I wish, most sincerely, that all prejudices in favor or against General Reed or myself, may be laid aside on the present occasion, and that truth and justice may in?uence the determination ofthe public.
The world is now in possession of General Reed's address to me, te lating to a conversation I had with him at Bristol in the winter of 1776, and as it contains the grossest re?ections upon my character, as a man of veracity and a patriot, it is incumbent on me to reply.
Mankind have been much the same, in every age, with respect to their conduct in political life. Their minds have been in?amed by the same passions, prejudices and resentments, and parties have been supported by complaints and representations, which naturally grow into invective and personal abuse.
