The Complete Writings and Selected Correspondence of John
Dickinson, vol. 1Â 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. The documents include essays, articles,
broadsides, resolutions, petitions, declarations, constitutions,
regulations, legislation, proclamations, songs and odes. Among them
are many of the seminal state papers produced by the first national
congresses and conventions. Also included are correspondences
between Dickinson and some of the key figures of his era. This
edition should raise Dickinson to his rightful place among
America’s founding fathers, rivaled in reputation only by Benjamin
Franklin before 1776. Dickinson was celebrated throughout the
colonies, as well as 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.
