Otis, James. Quoted in The Life of James Otis, written by William Tudor, Jr. Wells and Lilly, 1823.

Taxation and representation are inseparable... Whatever is a man's own, is absolutely his own; no man hath a right to take it from him withough his consent either expressed by himself or representative; whoever attempts to do it, attempts an injury; whoever does it, commits a robbery; he throws down and destroys the distinction between liberty and slavery.

Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden
