Benjamin Rush (1746-1813) exerted a remarkably wide-ranging
influence on the medical, political, and social life of the
emerging American nation. He fulfilled the multiple roles of first
American professor of chemistry, signer of the Declaration of
Independence, foremost American physician, father of American
psychiatry, pioneer abolitionist, educator, advocate of temperance,
and proponent of prison reform. The success of these endeavors
rested largely on the strength and size of his literary output,
which was unparalleled by any of the other founding fathers. This
bibliographic guide is the only work to identify all of Rush's
published writings as well as hundreds of writings about him.
The Introduction surveys Rush's published writings on a variety
of topics and places them in their late 18th and early 19th century
context. Part one provides a comprehensive chronological listing of
Rush's published works, including articles, pamphlets, and books in
all their editions. Part one also includes comments from Rush
scholars on the nature and significance of many of the works, along
with references to contemporary reviews. Extensive cross-references
show the relationship between documents. Aids to locating the
documents in their original, reprinted, and microtext forms are
also provided. Part two lists over 500 publications about Rush and
his role in American history. The work includes a title and general
index to part one and an author and general index to part two.
