# Address of the House of Burgesses to the King, 1772

Virginia Colony to George III of England, April 1, 1772, Petition Against Importation of Slaves from Africa , Library of Congress
To the King's most excellent Majesty, The humble Address of the House of Burgesses of Virginia.
Most Gracious Sovereign, We your Majesty’s dutiful and loyal Subjects the Burgesses of Virginia, now met in General Assembly, beg Leave with all Humility to approach your Royal Presence.
The many Instances of your Majesty’s benevolent Intentions and most gracious Disposition to promote the Prosperity and Happiness of your Subjects in the Colonies, encourage us to look up to the Throne, and implore your Majesty’s paternal Assistance in averting a Calamity of a most alarming Nature.
The Importation of Slaves into the Colonies from the Coast of Africa hath long been considered as a Trade of great Inhumanity, and, under its present Encouragement, we have too much reason to fear will endanger the very Existence of your Majesty’s American Dominions.
We are sensible that some of your Majesty’s Subjects in Great Britain may reap Emoluments from this Sort of Traffick, but when we consider that it greatly retards the Settlement of the Colonies with more useful Inhabitants, and may in Time, have the most destructive Influence, we presume to hope that the Interest of a few will be disregarded when placed in Competition with the Security and Happiness of such Numbers of your Majesty’s dutiful and loyal Subjects.
Deeply impressed with these Sentiments, we most humbly beseech your Majesty to remove all those Restraints on your Majesty’s Governors of this Colony which inhibit their assenting to such Laws, as might check so very pernicious a Commerce.
Your Majesty’s ancient Colony and Dominion of Virginia hath at all Times and upon every Occasion been entirely devoted to your Majesty’s sacred Person and Government, and we cannot forego this Opportunity of renewing those Assurances of the truest Loyalty and warmest Affection, which we have so often, with the greatest Sincerity, given to the Best of Kings, whose Wisdom and Goodness we esteem the surest Pledges of the Happiness of all his people.
In the Earl of Dunmores
of the 1st May 1772.

From Notebook, p. 115, reversed. First draft of My Pretty Rose Tree in Songs of Experience (1794).
(Edited text)
A flower was offered to me, Such a flower as may never bore; But I said, "I've a pretty rose tree," And I passed the sweet flower o'er.
Then I went to my pretty rose tree, To tend it by day and by night; But my rose turn'd away with Jealousy, And her thorns were my only delight.

CHAPTER XXIII.
Against Epicurus.
§. 1.Even Epicurus is sensible, that we are by Nature sociable: but having once placed our Good in the mere Shell, he can say nothing afterwards different from that. For, again, he strenuously maintains, that we ought not to admire, or receive, any thing separated from the Nature of Good. And he is in the right to maintain it. But how, then, came any such Suspicions [as your Doctrines imply, to arise], if we have no natural Affection towards an Offspring? Why do you, Epicurus, dissuade a wise Man from bringing up Children? Why are you afraid, that, upon their Account, he may fall into Uneasinesses? Doth he fall into any for a Mouse, that feeds within his House? What is it to him, if a little Mouse bewails itself there? But Epicurus knew, that, if once a Child is born, it is no longer in our Power not to love and be solicitous for it. For the same Reason, he says, a wise man will not engage himself in public Business for he knew very well, what such an Engagement would oblige him to do: For what should restrain any one from Affairs, if we may behave among Men, as we would among a Swarm of Flies
§. 2. And doth He, who knows all this, dare to bid us not bring up Children? Not even a Sheep, or a Wolf, deserts its Offspring; and shall Man? What would you have? That we should be as silly as Sheep? Yet even these do not desert their Offspring. Or as savage as Wolves? Neither do these desert them. Pray, who would ​mind you, if he saw his Child fallen upon the Ground, and crying? For my part, I am of Opinion, that your Father and Mother, even if they could have foreseen, that you would have been the Author of such Doctrines, would not, however, have thrown you away.

CHAPTER XXI.
Of the Desire of Admiration.
§. 1.When a Person maintains his proper Station in Life, he doth not gape after Externals. What would you have, Man?
"I am contented, if my Desires and Aversions are conformable to Nature: if I manage my ​Powers of Pursuit and Avoidance, my Purposes, and Intentions and Assent, in the manner I was formed to do."
Why, then, do you walk as if you had swallowed a Spit?
"I could wish moreover to have all who meet me, admire me, and all who follow me, cry out, What a great Philosopher!"
Who are those, by whom you would be admired? Are they not the very People, who, you used to say, were mad? What, then, would you be admired by Madmen?

CHAPTER XXVI.
What the Law of Life is.
§. 1.As one [of his Scholars] was reading hypothetical Syllogisms; it is likewise a Law in these, says Epictetus, to admit what follows from the Hypothesis: but much more is it a Law in Life, to do what follows from Nature. For, if we desire in every Subject of Action, and in every Circumstance, to keep up to Nature; we must, on every Occasion, evidently make it our Aim, neither to let Consequences escape our Observation, nor to admit Contradictions. Philosophers, therefore, first exercise us in Theory, which is the more easy Task, and then lead us to the more difficult: for in Theory, there is nothing to oppose our following what we are taught; but in Life, there are many Things to draw us aside. It is ridiculous then, to say, we must begin from these: for it is not easy to begin from the most difficult: and this Excuse must be made to those Parents, who dislike that their Children should learn philosophical Speculations.——"Am I to blame then, Sir, and ignorant of my Duty, and of what is incumbent on me? If this is neither to be learnt, nor taught, why do you find fault with me? If it is to be taught, pray teach me yourself: or, if you cannot, give me Leave to learn it from those who profess to understand it. Besides: do you think that I voluntarily fall into Evil, and miss of Good? Heaven forbid! What then, is the Cause of my Faults?" Ignorance. "Are you not willing then, that I should get rid of my Ignorance? Who was ever taught ​the Art of Music, or Navigation, by Anger? Do you expect then, that your Anger should teach me the Art of Living?"——This howver, is allowed to be said only by one who really hath that Intention. But he who reads these Things, and applies to the Philosophers, merely for the sake of shewing, at an Entertainment, that he understands hypothetical Syllogisms; what doth he do it for, but to be admired by some Senator, who happens to sit near him . . . . .
§. 2. . . . . . . . I once saw a Person weeping and embracing the Knees of Epaphroditus; and deploring his hard Fortune, that he had not 50,000l. left. What said Epaphroditus, then? Did he laugh at him, as we should do? No: but cried out with Astonishment, Poor Man! How could you be silent? How could you bear it?
§. 3. . . . . . . . The first Step, therefore, towards becoming a Philosopher, is, being sensible in what State the ruling Faculty of the Mind is; for, when a Person knows it to be in a weak one, he will not immediately employ it in great Attempts, But, for want of this, some, who can scarce get down a Morsel, buy, and set themselves to swallow, whole Treatises; and so they throw them up again, or cannot digest them: and then come Cholics, Fluxes, and Fevers. Such Persons ought to consider what they can bear. Indeed, it is easy to convince an ignorant Person in Theory; but in Matters relating to Life, no one offers himself to Conviction; and we hate those who have convinced us. Socrates used to say, that we ought not to live a Life unexamined.
