Excerpt:

One day, Grenville called the colonial agents together, and said, "I think I see a way to raise money from the colonies—a way which will succeed, and which will not make the colonists angry."

Then, Grenville set forth this plan: "England shall stamp paper. This shall be sent to the colonies and the colonists shall buy it. They shall use it in all business. For example, if one man sells a piece of land to another, the deed shall be written on the stamped paper. The money thus paid by the colonists for this stamped paper shall be the colonial tax, and all other taxes shall be removed from the American colonies."
