He proposed, in an essay, that the care of the American colonies should be made the province of a select number of lords and gentlemen of reputation both for parts and fortunes ; and suggested that it would be in their power to put things into a form and order of government that should always preserve these countries in obedience to the crown and dependence upon the kingdom.
