notes:
The Quebec Act (which enlarged Quebec, emancipated Roman Catholics, and retained French law) alarmed the anti-Catholic English colonies; they felt Catholicism was being forced upon them. The three British statesmen are Frederick, Lord North, John Stuart, earl of Bute (wearing Scottish dress), and another statesman. Revere copied the plate from the London Magazine, July 1774, vol. 43, p. 312. Image is placed horizontally on page. Published first by Isaiah Thomas and then Joseph Greenleaf in Boston, this magazine was produced from January 1774 until April 1775 when the war put an end to publication.
