Summary: | "The Complete Writings and Selected Correspondence of John Dickinson is a multi-volume documentary edition that will, for the first time ever, provide the complete collection of everything Dickinson published on public affairs over the course of his life. The documents include essays, articles, broadsides, resolutions, petitions, declarations, constitutions, regulations, legislation, proclamations, songs and odes, and many other sorts. Among these are many of the seminal state papers produced by the first national congresses and conventions. Also included will be correspondences between Dickinson and some of the key figures of his era. This edition should raise Dickinson to his rightful place among America's top Founders, as before 1776, only Benjamin Franklin rivaled him in reputation. Dickinson was celebrated throughout the Colonies, and also in England and France, as the great American spokesman for liberty, and the documents in this edition evidence his tireless political work and unmatched corpus"-- "'The Complete Writings and Selected Correspondence of John Dickinson', Volume 1 inaugurates a multivolume documentary edition that will, for the first time ever, provide the complete collection of everything Dickinson published on public affairs over the course of his life.
