Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Liberties of America
And here, if nowhere else, I trust I have a door of entrance for the reader's thanks. Such a subject ought not surely to lie waste. It should be thoroughly discussed. There ought to be a literature of freedom, accessible to everybody, and suited if possible to every body's wants. To Which end, mine is a pioneer effort. I have had no predecessor to instruct me either by success or failure in a similar enterprise. Let me be judged accordingly. I have done as well as I could. And though my handling of the matter discussed should fail to please the public, they will yet allow me the solace of believing that I have done my country some small service by being the first to handle it at all since it is better the people should be led, by any guidance, to think upon what so nearly concerns them, than to go on talking, as the fashion is, without thinking.
