  Authorship established by L. C. Wroth in "William Parks," (1926), quoting letter from Gooch to his London superiors: "The inclosed Dialogue which I put together and published for their better information just after those disturbances [the tobacco cutting riots of 1731] broke out has already done great service; and as the arguments were confined to that part of the law in which the poor planters are more nearly concerned, your Lordship will judge whether they have any reason to complain."
