Than this, nothing could be more odious to America. In the spring of the year just named, the citizens of Boston held a great meeting to protest against the impending policy of the crown. As a member of the Assembly and as chairman of a committee Mr. Otis made a report which was ordered to be sent to the agent of the government along with the copy of Otis's recent pamphlet, "The Rights of the British Colonies asserted and proved." At this time Lieutenant-Governor Hutchinson was about to become the representative of the Colony in its contention with the crown and for some reason, not very apparent, Mr. Otis favored his appointment. Governor Bernard, however, opposed the measure, and Hutchinson declined the appointment. Otis's course was censured by the patriots and his popularity was for the while impaired. However, he took strong grounds against the Sugar Act, and soon afterward still more strenuously opposed the Stamp Act. He regained the impaired confidence of the people and at the close of the session of the Assembly he was appointed chairman of a committee to correspond with the other Colonies, and thus to promote the common interest of all. This, after the intercolonial conference which Franklin had promoted, was perhaps the first step towards the creation of the Continental Congress. Mr. Otis's letter to the provincial agent went to England, though it was sent in the name of the Lower House only.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from James Otis: The Pre-Revolutionist; A Brief Interpretation of the Life and Work of a Patriot; With Anecdotes, Characteristics and Chronology Near the northeast corner of the old Common of Boston a section of ground was put apart long before the beginning of the eighteenth century to be a burying ground for some of the heroic dead of the city of the Puritans. For some quaint reason or caprice this acre of God was called "The Granary" - and is so called to this day. Perhaps the name was given because the dead were here garnered as grain from the reaping until the bins be opened at the last day's threshing when the chaff shall be driven from the wheat. Here the thoughtless throng looking through the iron railing may see the old weather-beaten and time-eaten slabs with their curious lettering which designate the spots where many of the men of the pre-revolutionary epoch were laid to their last repose. The word cemetery is from Greek and means the little place where I lie down. In the Granary Burying Ground are the tombs of many whom history has gathered and recorded as her own.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"[...]Otis took in marriage Mary Alleyne, and of this union were born thirteen children. The eldest was a son, and to him was given his father's name. It was to this child that destiny had assigned the heroic work of confronting the aggressions of Great Britain on the American colonists, and of inspiring the latter to forcible resistance. James Otis, Junior, was born at a place called Great Marshes, now known as West Barnstable, on the 5th of February, 1725. He inherited from his father and grandfather not only a large measure of talents but also a passion for public life which impelled him strongly to the study and solution of those questions which related to the welfare of the American colonies, and to the means by which their political independence might be ultimately secured. The character and intellect of Colonel Otis of Barnstable were transmitted to other members of his family also. The daughter Mercy, oldest sister of James Otis, was married to James Warren who made his home at Plymouth. This lady had her brother's passion for politics-an enthusiasm which could hardly be restrained. She wrote and conversed in a fiery manner on the revolutionary topics of the day. Almost coincidently with the Battle of Bunker Hill she composed and published (without her name, however, ) a biting satire on the colonial policy of Great Britain, calling her brochure "The Group." Fifteen years afterwards she published a volume[...]."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn the awakening of American feelings between 1760 and 1761:The most conspicuous, the most ardent and influential in this revival, from 1760 to 1766, were, first and foremost, before all and above all, James Otis. - Novanglus, and Massachusettensis, by John Adams and Jonathan SewallIF ANY ONE MAN set in motion the spirit the led to the outbreak of the American quest for independence, that man was James Otis, Jr. The son of a lawyer and a distinguished lawyer himself, Otis abandoned his career to speak for the rights, liberties, and privileges owed to the American colonists as citizens of the British Empire. Before Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson, Otis spoke forcefully against the abuses of a distant Parliament out of touch with and insensitive to the needs of an unrepresented population. In need of revenue after the costly wars, corrupted with purchased government offices and favors for the newly-rich land barons of England, violating the official charters establishing the American colonies, Parliament levied unlawful taxes, authorized warrantless searches, sent armed troops to American shores in a time of peace. Known for his unwavering honesty, his refusal to take up a cause he did not consider just, Otis spoke with a powerful, persuasive voice in the State Assembly, in courts, and in other venues. He could also be considered the first casualty of the Revolution: In 1769, Otis was attacked and severely beaten by a revenue officer, leaving him with a serious head injury. He forgave the man who had inflicted the injury and refused the court's damage award after receiving an apology. Unfortunately, the physical trauma so seriously affected his faculties that he was forced to leave the fight for justice and freedom to the many patriots he had so intensely inspired.
