Hall has made the first detailed investigation of Polly Baker. It
leads through the exciting world of eighteenth-century journalism,
literature, and statecraft. Ben Franklin occupies a position in the
story second only to Polly Baker herself. Evident throughout is the
tendency of people, even in an age of enlightenment, to believe
what they see--provided they see it in print. Originally published
in 1960. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring
Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available
again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously
out of print. These editions are published unaltered from the
original, and are presented in affordable paperback formats,
bringing readers both historical and cultural value.
