Summary1. The Alarm. Number V is the last of a series of five topical essays published by Hampden, Pseudonym, in 1773. Each of the five essays was published in the month of October. Number V, like the prior Hampden essays, was published in New York, only once, and in only one edition. This is one of a number of pamphlets, folios, advertisements, and broadsides that were published in the Colonies prior to the culmination of the American Revolution. This publication comes after Great Britain's imposed Proclamation of 1763, the Stamp Act (1765), the Declaratory Act (1766) and the Townshend Acts (1767) on the Colonies. As these Acts were issued by Great Britain, publications by authors-such as Benjamin Franklin, John Dickinson, and the Sons of Liberty-attempted to help repeal the Acts and spread awareness amongst the Americans in general.
