A lively glimpse into the mind of Francis Hopkinson, blending curiosity, wit, and early American thought. This collection presents his essays and letters on science, law, and public life in a vivid, accessible voice.

Across this edition, readers are treated to Hopkinson’s curiosity about the world—from the workings of the grand jury to the mysteries of optics. The material offers a window into his lively self‑education and his attempts to write for a curious, public audience.

These selections mix personal ambition, political observation, and practical science, all conveyed with plain language and a sense of humor. Readers will encounter debates about law, reflections on knowledge, and engaging anecdotes that reveal the author’s character and era.

Personal tone, with letters and essays that show how Hopkinson sought to publish and shape opinion.

Thoughtful discussions on law, governance, and the duties of juries in early America.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of essays written by the author between 1775 and 1776 for publication in the Pennsylvania Magazine. The essays contemplate the human condition, provide social commentary, and speak to the concerns of the day. The author reveals the personal dilemmas and disappointments of being a bachelor, then later marries. He writes on the madness of war, the power of delusion, and explores the motivations of a miser. He examines the distinctions between true wisdom and mere knowledge and advocates for education as the means to improve humanity and society. This book offers both a glimpse into the American experience during the Revolutionary era and universal insights into the human condition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
