[Address of the American Delegates to Quebec – Middleton, Henry] -   Urbanus,  Sylvanus,  The Gentleman's Magazine, and Historical Chronicle January 1775 from Volume XLV. London: D. Henry, 1775.  This volume, 8” x 9½” ,  includes a full printing of first Continental Congress’ “Substance of the Address of the American Delegates, in general Congress assembled, to the inhabitants of the province of Quebec.” signed in type Henry Middleton, President. 

The Continental Congress overwhelmingly sought to enlist the support of the Quebec Colony in their negotiations with the Crown.   It had been only 12 years since the Quebec Provenance was lost by the French to England in 1763.   Despite this, the former French citizens of Quebec were not given   five important rights of British constitutional law:

  1. Representative Government 
  2. Trial by jury.
  3. Liberty of the person,
  4. Holding lands by the tenure and
  5. Freedom of the press

 

The Address was translated into French and submitted as:

 

Lettre aux habitans de la Province de Quebec, ci-devant le Canada, de la part du Congrès général de l'Amérique Septentrionale, tenu à Philadelphie, Qubec. [i]

Quebec would send no delegates to Continental Congress or the United States, in Congress Assembled despite continued letters, resolutions and even a Constitution Article beckoning them to join the “Perpetual Union” In Article XI of the Constitution of 1777.
