Publisher's Synopsis
Novanglus And Massachusettensis is a collection of political essays written by John Adams and published in 1774 and 1775. The book explores the major points of controversy between Great Britain and its colonies in America during the time leading up to the American Revolution. Adams, a prominent figure in the American Revolution and later the second President of the United States, argues for the rights of the colonies and their independence from British rule. The book is divided into two parts: Novanglus and Massachusettensis. Novanglus contains a series of letters written by Adams under the pseudonym ""Novanglus"" in response to a series of essays written by a loyalist under the pseudonym ""Massachusettensis."" In these letters, Adams defends the colonists' rights and argues against British policies such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts. Massachusettensis, on the other hand, contains a series of essays written by Adams under his own name, in which he further explores the issues of colonial rights and independence. Overall, Novanglus And Massachusettensis is an important historical work that sheds light on the political climate in America leading up to the American Revolution.To Which Are Added A Number Of Letters, Lately Written By President Adams To The Honourable William Tudor; Some Of Which Were Never Before Published.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
