Part I - General View- History

1767 - John Wentworth was appointed deputy governor of New Hampshire, and surveyor 
of the king’s forests in North America.
	The act above alluded to was a duty on paper, glass, tea, and painter’s colours.  A 
board of commissioners and a court of admiralty were also established with unlimited 
powers.  The colonies were unanimous in their opposition to the revenue act, and they 
employed every expedient to interrupt the royal officers in the execution of their business.  
Three of the commissioners escaped from the populace with the hazard of their lives.  And 
others sought refuge in the forts.
