Volume Two of The Complete Writings and Selected Correspondence of John Dickinson, covering the years 1759 to 1763, shows Dickinson’s rise to prominence as a lawyer with cases ranging from land disputes to murder, and his entry into public life as a legislator in the Delaware and Pennsylvania Assemblies. In addition to case notes and legislation, the documents include correspondence, commonplace books, verse, and essays on political and legal topics such as judicial tenure and the flag-of-truce trade.
