Exploring the Bounds of Liberty: Political Writings of Colonial British America from the Glorious Revolution to the American Revolution

Exploring the Bounds of Liberty is a 3-volume collection of political writings from colonial British America in the century before the Revolution. First printed mainly in London, pamphlets and broadsides soon spread as presses appeared across the colonies. By the mid-1700s, political publications had grown from a trickle to a flood, reflecting the colonies’ intensifying debates on liberty and governance.
