Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the first volume of a four-volume set that will reprint in their entirety the texts of 72 pamphlets relating to the Anglo-American controversy that were published in America in the years 1750-1776. They have been selected from the corpus of the pamphlet literature on the basis of their importance in the growth of American political and social ideas, their role in the debate with England over constitutional rights, and their literary merit. All of the best known pamphlets of the period, such as James Otis' Rights of the British Colonies (1764), John Dickinson's Farmers Letters (1768), and Thomas Paine's Common Sense (1776) are to be included. In addition there are lesser known ones particularly important in the development of American constitutional thought: Stephen Johnson's Some Important Observations (1766), John Joachim Zublys An Humble Enquiry (1769), Ebenezer Baldwins An Appendix Stating the Heavy Grievances (1774), and Four Letters on Interesting Subjects (1776). There are also pamphlets illustrative of the sheer vituperation of the Revolutionary polemics, and others selected for their more elevated literary merit. Both sides of the Anglo-American dispute and all genres of expression -- poetry, dramatic dialogues, sermons, treatises, documentary collections, political "position papers" -- that appeared in this form are included. Each pamphlet is introduced by an essay written by the editor containing a biographical sketch of the author of the document, an analysis of the circumstances that led to the writing of it, and an interpretation of its contents. The texts are edited for the convenience of the modern reader according to a scheme that preserves scrupulously the integrity of every word written but that frees the text from the encumbrances of 18th-century printing practices. All references to writings, people, and events that are not obvious to the informed modern reader are identified in the editorial apparatus and where necessary explained in detailed notes. This first volume of the set contains the texts of 14 pamphlets through the year 1765. It presents, in addition, a book-length General Introduction by Mr. Bailyn on the ideology of the American Revolution. In the seven chapters of this essay the ideological origins and development of the Revolutionary movement are analyzed in the light of the study of the pamphlet literature that went into the preparation of these volumes. Mr. Bailyn explains that close analysis of this literature allows one to penetrate deeply into the colonists understanding of the events of their time; to grasp more clearly than is otherwise possible the sources of their ideas and their motives in rebelling; and, above all, to see the subtle, fundamental transformation of 18th-century constitutional thought that took place during these years of controversy and that became basic doctrine in America thereafter. Mr. Bailyn stresses particularly the importance in the development of American thought of the writings of a group of early 18th-century English radicals and opposition politicians who transmitted to the colonists most directly the 17th-century tradition of anti-authoritarianism born in the upheaval of the English Civil War. In the context of this 17th- and early 18th-century tradition one sees the political importance in the Revolutionary movement of concepts the 20th century has generally dismissed as mere propaganda and rhetoric: 'slavery,' 'conspiracy,' 'corruption.' It was the meaning these concepts imparted to the events of the time, Mr. Bailyn suggests, as well as the famous Lockean notions of natural rights and social and governmental compacts, that accounts for the origins and the basic characteristics of the American Revolution."--Publisher's description.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Check List of American Revolutionary War Pamphlets in the Newberry Library The following check-list records the early editions and contemporary reprints of political pamphlets relating to the American Revolution which are contained in The Newberry Library. The collection, at present numbering five hundred and seventy-four tracts, is about equally proportioned between American and British publications, so that considerable material is afforded for the study of the thoughts and purposes of both parties concerned in the Revolutionary controversy, and also for the study of the origins and development of American political institutions and ideals. In order to make this material known to students of American history, The Newberry Library issues this list in bibliographical form, in the hope that, despite limitations, it may be of service and value. The pamphlets appearing in the main body of the list are all political, published during the period, 1750-1786. Reprints which appeared later of pamphlets originally printed during this period are not included. The following groups are included: (1) The preliminaries, (1750-1763). Pamphlets, chiefly those discussing the political principles and political philosophy of the colonies. (2) The Revolution, (1763-1783). Controversial pamphlets, both British and American. (3) Revolutionary propaganda, (1775-1781). Sermons, orations and other materials, apparently printed to influence public opinion during the conflict. (4) Political pamphlets, (1781-1786) reflecting on the progress and results of the Revolution. (5) State papers, British and American, printed during the period, 1775-1786. Pamphlets which relate to the conduct of the war and to the controversies of military commanders are omitted from the body of the list, but are mentioned in short title, in a final section, (p.96-101).
