Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania to the Inhabitants of the British Colonies

Written in 1767 and 1768, the Letters from a Farmer formed one of the key foundations on which the American Revolution was built. John Dickinson, impassioned by the passage of the Townshend Acts, took up his pen and wrote of the greatest and most important missives the American continent had ever seen as he struck down the unconstitutional and immoral actions by Parliament on its loyal and loving colonies.

When John Dickinson died in 1808, Thomas Jefferson said that that "a more estimable man, or truer patriot, could not have left us...his name will be consecrated in history as one of the great worthies of the revolution."

Upheld with Common Sense by Thomas Paine, Letters from a Farmer is the work that got Americans to stand up for their rights as equal men and helped pave the way for a new nation based on liberty.
