The established Authority of any government in
America, and the policy of Government at home, are
both insufficient to restrain the Americans. . . .
They acquire no attachment to Place: But wandering
about Seems engrafted in their Nature; and it is
a weakness incident to it, that they Should for ever
immagine the Lands further off, are Still better than
those upon which they are already settled.
—Lord Dunmore, to the Earl of Dartmouth.
