This Rotunda edition of the Letters of Benjamin Rush reproduces the 2 volume edition published for the American Philosophical Society by Princeton University Press in 1951.

Description based on print version record.

"A member of the Continental Congress, signer of the Declaration of Independence, surgeon general of the Continental Army, treasurer of the U.S. Mint--as well as an abolitionist and a proponent of wider access to education and the rights of women--Benjamin Rush had perhaps the most varied career of any American founder. His papers offer insights into a diverse range of issues and dramatic moments of the Revolutionary era and early republic"--Resource homepage, viewed April 14, 2023.

Here, in two volumes, is a collection of over 650 letters (two-thirds of them never before printed) from the pen of Benjamin Rush. A signer of the Declaration of Independence and the 18th century's most distinguished American physician, Rush was also a politician, pamphleteer, social reformer, chemistry professor, psychiatrist, college founder, church founder, and "enthusiastic lifelong student of everything under the sun."--Book jacket (print version).
