Attributed to Samuel Waterhouse by Evans, who notes: "The date of publication is variously given; but a letter in Fleet's paper, the Boston Evening Post, from Samuel Waterhouse, June 23, 1766, in which he refers to James Otis as James Bluster, esq., gives probability to the above date [i.e., 1766]." Ascribed to the press of T. & J. Fleet by Evans.
