Charles Inglis, 1734-1816, Loyalist Anglican clergyman, became the first Bishop of Nova Scotia. He was born in Ireland and came to America
in 1755. Inglis was in New York at the time of the publication of Paine’s
Common Sense
, “one of the most artful, insidious and pernicious pamphlets I have ever met with”, and immediately wrote this reply to counteract
its influence. A copy of the second edition is in the next following volume of tracts.
