- Boy, this is a pretty substantive article not to offer a single reference.
- I would guess from the mention of the Treaty of Utrecht that the ambiguous "States-General" is the Netherlands States General, but since niether the word "Netherlands" nor "Dutch" appears anywhere in the article, and I know nothing independently about Townshend, I hesitate to edit accordingly.
Could someone clueful have a look at this?

States-General normally refers to the Dutch States-General. There'd be no other States-General in operation at this time, I'd think. The article is pretty clearly from the 1911 Britannica (I imagine I inputted it and forgot to source it - but it's pretty easy to tell such articles...) john 23:17, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Yes, figured it was the Dutch States-General, but didn't want to disambiguate without confirmation. I've now done that.
1911 EB is no surprise, but sometimes articles are out-and-out plagiarism from a copyrighted source. Hence my gently worded question.
Thanks for helping me sort this out. -- Jmabel 23:22, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)
i think that it sucked! it didn't help me...i only want the most important things of his life, not the history of his entire extended family!
