of the reading public more accurately than do catalogues of private libraries, which represent individual preferences. Voltaire had long been known in the colonies. Rousseau's Social Contract was advertised as a Treatise on the social compact, or the principles of political law. He himself is referred to again and again as the ingenious Rousseau, or the celebrated Rousseau. And Emile and La Nouvelle Heloise were evidently in demand. The famous Letters of a Farmer in Pennsylvania by John Dickinson belong to the colonial press in a very special way, since not only did they first appear in The Pennsylvania chronicle, The Pennsylvania journal, and The Pennsylvania gazette almost simultaneously in the winter of 1767-1768, but they were reprinted in nearly every newspaper on the continent, from Nova Scotia to Georgia. See also Book I, Chap. VIII. The Letters were soon known in France, where they were translated by Jacques Barbeu Dubourg, with a preface of glowing compliment. Rep

are perhaps The song of Braddock's men, and the lines on Wolfe- Thy merits, Wolfe, transcend all human praise. Anti-British ballads began to appear immediately upon the passage of the Stamp Act, to continue until the close of the Revolution. These spring from the heat of the conflict, and are as replete with patriotism as they are deficient in literary merit. Yet they admirably fulfilled their purpose of arousing public spirit, and many of them were known and sung everywhere. John Dickinson's Patriot's appeal, which begins Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all, By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall, gave rise to a parody which was in turn parodied in the famous Massachusetts liberty song. Almost equally popular were John Mason's Liberty's call, Thomas Paine's Liberty Tree, and Timothy Dwight's Columbia, with its refrain Columbia, Columbia, to glory arise, The queen of the world and the child of the skies.
