Sterving per Gallon on Molasses, etc., Shewing some of the many Inconveniences Necessarily Resulting from the Operation of the said Act (Boston, 1764); Reasons against the renewal of the sugar Act as it will be Prejudicial to the trade not only of the Northern colonies but to those of great Britain also (Boston, 1764); and Thomas Fitch's Reasons why the British colonies in America should not be charged with internal taxes (New Haven, 1764).
