Gordon S. Wood, ed., The American Revolution: Writings from the Pamphlet Debate: II: 1773-1776 (New York: Library of America, 2015)("There is no honour but what is founded in Justice and Virtue. Take these away, and what is called so is mere name; it maybe whim, it may be caprice, it may be pride, it may be selfish-ness: But HONOUR it can not be." Samuel Seabury (aka A. W. Farmer), The Congress Canvassed: or An Examination into The Conduct of the Delegates, at Their Grand Convention Held in Philadelphia, Sept. 1, 1774 (1774).).
