Book Description

Excerpt from Public Opinion in Philadelphia, 1789-1801 Since the publication of the first volume of Professor MC Master's epoch-making History of the American People, in 1883, the newspaper and the pamphlet have come into their own. They have been made the basis Of many books, monographs and articles, the most important perhaps being Mr. Rhodes's Clever analysis Of public opinion in the United States from 1850 to 1877. In spite of this activity a large part Of the field still remains unworked. A thorough analysis of the newspaper and pamphlet literature Of the Federalist Period (1789-1801) Should throw light upon our political and constitutional development during those important formative years and Should also make available some very useful social and economic material.
