From The Life of Samuel Johnson, by James Boswell
AMERICANS
"He had long before indulged most unfavourable sentiments of our fellow-subjects in America. For, as early as 1769, I was told by Dr. John Campbell, that he had said of them, 'Sir, they are a race of convicts, and ought to be thankful for any thing we allow them short of hanging.'"
From A.D. 1775 AETAT. 66
