I hate to nitpick, but if you and your friend are going to distribute this, it should go through an edit or two.

His references to the revolution against the Queen, and abuses by the Queen's court really threw off my rhythm for reading. The American Revolution occurred during the reign of King George III; there were few Queens regent during the period between colonization and revolution: Elizabeth I (whose reign ended in 1603); Mary II (1689-1694); Anne (1702-1714). So, for the 59 years leading up to the Revolution, there had been Kings. The next reigning Queen, Victoria, would not be crowned until 1837.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, and I appreciate your friend's effort and intent. I'd just prefer for his work to have a better chance of withstanding scrutiny from those who will not agree with his intent.

Regards,

M
