1767-1768
Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania
London, 1774
After Britain's 1767 tax on imported goods in the Colonies, John Dickinson published his influential "Letters From a Farmer." Moving beyond taxation, the letters addressed the moral requirements of freedom, asserting that an individual subject to the whims of a powerful government was not free. His letters were widely published in newspapers. This is a 1774 reprint. |
