COLLECTOR’S ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The genesis of the Collected Works of James Wilson was the chance discovery in 1995 of Andrew Bennett’s pamphlet “James Wilson of St. Andrews, an American Statesman” (1928) in a bookstall at the Sunday Antiques Faire at St. Andrews Town Hall. The journey from that initial discovery to this publication was made possible through the help of many scholars, all of whom eagerly shared their knowledge with me. These include: the staff of the University of St. Andrews Library, Jack Rakove (Stanford University), Dennis L. Bark (Hoover Institution), James Billington (Library of Congress), George Carey (Georgetown University), David Kennedy (Earhart Foundation), Hans Eichoz (Liberty Fund), Thomas Vail (Cleveland, The Plain Dealer), and Mark David Hall (George Fox University). I am indebted to each of them.
