    NOTES AND DOCUMENTS Thomas Paine's Response to Lord North's Speech on the British Peace Proposals Thomas Paine, whose book Common Sense proposed the formation of a "declaration for independence'* and stirred thousands to the cause of inde- pendence in 1776, supported the cause throughout the war effort with his American Crisis series of pamphlets and numerous newspaper publications. The newspapers played a crucial role in the American Revolution by supply- ing a war of words, which kept the colonists focused on their goal of inde- pendence. The printers had become active participants early in the war par- tially due to their anger at the British Stamp Act, which taxed newspapers.1 Writers, using multiple pseudonyms to mask their identities and produce an appearance of greater numbers, produced poems, essays, and letters for the newspapers to combat loyalists as well as the pernicious effects of fear and ignorance among the colonists.2 Paine's use of pseudonyms kept some of his newspaper contributions from being identified for many years. In 1951 A. Owen Aldridge identified a number of pieces, including an article written by Paine in York, Pennsyl- vania, on June 10,1778, and published in the Pennsylvania Gazette on June 13, 1778, signed "Common Sense," which had not been included in the published canon of Paine's writings.3 Similarly, it appears that Paine contrib- uted a letter and associated commentary in the April 25,1778, "Postscript" edition of the Pennsylvania Packet^ published in Lancaster, which has also been overlooked. Addressed to "R. L." and signed "T. P.," there is ample 1 Philip Davidson, Propaganda and the American Revolution 1763-1783 (Chapel Hill, 1941), 226.

  • Ulster-Scots and the Declaration of Independence
    Ulster-Scots and the Declaration of Independence US and Dec of Ind BK4 AW.indd 1 17/12/09 12:16:20 Ulster-Scots and the Declaration of Independence Ulster-Scots and the Declaration of Independence The influence of Ulster-Scots Presbyterians was heavily stamped on the American Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and in the unfolding events which led to the establishment of the United States as a nation. The historic Declaration contained sentiments closely identified with the aspirations of the Presbyterian immigrant stock from the north of Ireland who settled in the American colonies during the 18th century. A significant assertion was: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator, with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. The 56 men from the 13 colonies who signed the Declaration were almost entirely of British family origin. Thirty eight were firmly established as being of English extraction, eight Irish (at least five of whom had direct Ulster family connections), five Welsh, four pure Scottish and one Swedish. One account from Ulster writer the Rev W. F. Marshall records the far-seeing contribution of the Scots- Irish (Ulster-Scots) in the struggle for American independence, with General George Washington reportedly stating: “If defeated everywhere else I will make my last stand for liberty among the Scotch-Irish of my native Virginia”. British Prime Minister at the time Horace Walpole was less flattering, with a jibe to King George 111 and the British Cabinet: “Cousin America has run off with a Presbyterian parson .

Important atlases and maps by Jefferys, Le Rouge, Des Barres, Pownall, and Sayer and Bennet are included as well. There are many extremely rare political works including those by Thomas Paine, Journals of the Continental Congress, and important broadsides issued in the course of the Revolution.

Tyrone, including title deeds to Dunlap family property in Strabane, 1747-1803, the will of John Dunlap of Strabane, 1780; emigrant letters from John Dunlap and others, Philadelphia, USA, to the Rutherford family, Strabane, 1785-1823, memorandum, written c.1800, describing the career of John Dunlap, printer of the Declaration of Independence, who emigrated from Strabane to Philadelphia; and 19 legal papers, leases, etc, relating to the Delap (note the different spelling) family of Ramelton and Ray, Co.

Public Record Office of Northern Ireland 2 Crown Copyright 2007 Dunlap Papers The Dunlap family of Strabane The Dunlaps were well established inhabitants of the town of Strabane, which was part of the Earl of Abercorn's estate, and which had in the 18th century a considerable reputation as a publishing and printing centre. It is likely they were Scottish Planters in the 17th century, for in 1700 Jean Dunlap, the daughter of 'Widow Dunlap', won a spinning machine at a linen fair in Strabane. In 1709, Gabriel Dunlap, grandfather of John, the printer of the Declaration of Independence, who was a saddler, leased premises in what is now Meetinghouse Street, and in February 1735 John's parents' marriage settlement was signed when his father married Sarah Ector.
