Thomas Hutchinson was the leading spokesman in colonial America for opposition to the Revolutionary movement. Because of his Loyalist sympathies his letters have languished unpublished in the Massachusetts Archives. This first volume of his correspondence begins with his emergence on the political stage in 1740 and covers the events of the French and Indian War, his controversial appointments as lieutenant-governor and chief justice, and the Stamp Act riots.
