In the Course of the long American Business from the Year 1765 to 1782 I had occasion to observe the Conduct of all the Governours, and without meaning to disparage any I must say that not one of them has done his Duty in a more clear and manly a Style [than John Wentworth]: That he shew'd a mark'd Zeal for the Crown at the same time that he made not one Enemy to the Interests of Great Britain by any thing intemperate in that Zeal; that he lost a Noble Situation a large fortune and the hopes of an indefinite encrease to it, and that I have reason to be convinced that if he had join'd in the Revolt, he would have been in one of the most commanding and most distinguish'd Situations in the United States.
Edmund Burke, 1792
