註釋
"Charles Townshend (29 August 1725 ? 4 September 1767) was a British politician...A witty speaker in the House of Commons, his "champagne speech" was particularly remembered. His last official act was to pass through parliament resolutions for taxing several articles, such as glass, paint, paper and tea, on their importation into America, which he estimated would produce the sum of 40,000 for the English treasury: the Townshend Acts."--Wikipedia.
