About this book
Signed as a Pennsylvania farmer, twelve weekly letters by the lawyer John Dickinson began in the Pennsylvania Chronicle in late 1767 and were soon reprinted in nearly every colonial newspaper. They argue against the measures Parliament passed under Charles Townshend, which included duties on glass, lead, paint and tea. This edition adds a historical introduction by R. T. H. Halsey, notes, and the letter of thanks sent to Dickinson by the town of Boston.
