Scarce <=rst edition of the <=rst collection of revolutionary and constitutional works by Founding Father John Dickinson. The 'Political Writings' oNfer a window into the thoughts of one of America's most inIJuential founding fathers and provide important insights into the debates and controversies that shaped the early years of the United States. The collected works include a number of essays, speeches, and letters that Dickinson wrote over the course of his long career as a politician and statesman. One of the most signi<=cant is "The Letters of Fabius," a series of essays that Dickinson wrote in 1787 in defence of the proposed United States Constitution. In these essays, Dickinson argues that the Constitution, with its system of checks and balances and its protections for individual rights, represents the best hope for securing the liberty and prosperity of the American people. The work also contains the "The Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms," which Dickinson co- authored with JeNferson in 1775, as a response to the British government's increasing military presence in the American colonies. In this document, Dickinson argues that the colonists have a right to defend themselves against the British government's encroachments on their freedoms and that they must be prepared to take up arms if necessary to protect their liberty.

This work includes Dickinson's important Farmer's Letters. "John Dickinson's most famous writings have their genesis with the Revenue Act of 1764 that raised duties on sugar. This prompted the Philadelphia lawyer and wealthy landowner to defend the ancient constitution of England against what were seen as arbitrary action from central government. Soon after, in response to the proposed Stamp Act, the so-called Stamp Act Congress met in New York City during October, 1766. There, Dickinson drafted fifteen proposals to which the gathering agreed, most of them condemning the proposed legislation as unconstitutional. As is well known, the Stamp Act was repealed after only four months of unsuccessful operation. Still, more acts of the Parliament in London continued to inflame the political life of the colonies. Prominent among these were the Declaratory Act, which asserted royal supremacy, and the new Revenue Act of 1767, which extended duties on other goods besides sugar. Special danger seemed inherent in the Townsend Acts which, among other things, threatened the integrity of the New York legislature. Dickinson once again put his prodigious learning and profound respect for the British Constitution to work in order to request redress for unconstitutional wrongs, this time to remarkable effect. His twelve Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania to the Inhabitants of the British Colonies began to appear in the Pennsylvania Chronicle and Universal Advisor on December 2, 1767, under the simple pseudonym "a Farmer." Using constitutional argument laced with political economy, Dickinson sought to persuade everyone who read his words, on either side of the Atlantic, of both the economic folly and the unconstitutionality of ignoring the rights of Englishmen living in the American Colonies. The letters first appeared in the newspapers over a period of ten weeks in late 1767 and early 1768" (J.Osborne). Howes D331. Sabin 20048. HBS 68883. $3,750.
