Title Page With Blindstamped Name Of Otto F. Kraushaar President Of Goucher College. A Major And Pessimistic Criticism Of Intellectuals Aka Leaders In Every Serious Field Particularly The Previous Fifty Years. A "Printing And The Mind Of Man" Title #419 Remarkable Not Just For Its Intelligent And Articulate Criticism Of Their Moral Failings In What They Did Or Failed To Do But Because It May Also Be Taken As An Indictment Of The Entire Intellectual Establishment And The Classes Which Populate It. It Demonstrates Not Just Their Particularized Faults And Deficiencies As Intellectuals But Also Their Lack Of Leadership In Public Discussion Of What Is Important For Society. He Shows The Lack Of Capability And Moral Fiber Of Intellectuals For The Task They Have Implicitly Chosen For Themselves That Is To Articulate What Are The Basic Purposes And Goals Of Individual Achievement And Social Life; He Implies They Lack The Particular Skills And Abilities And Knowledge And Fail To Provide Oversight And Programs And Efficiencies And Competencies And Budgets Essential To The Best Undertakings Of Government Institutions Businesses Social Associations And Even Families. The Intellectuals Have Failed Not Just To Provide Moral Leadership But Also To Undertake A Proper Moral Education Of Society So That Society Itself Can Self Correct. It Is Difficult To Find A Commercial Writer In English Who Can Discuss So Perceptively And At Such Length How The Members Of Society As A Whole Are So Utterly Hapless At The Moral Business Of Life. Modern Elites Would Have You Believe That He Is Talking Only About The "Opinion" Leaders Which Dominate The Media; But He Is Talking As Well About The Leaders In Business Education Medicine Civil Service Law Civic And Philanthropic Organizations And Academic Leaders As Well Including Social Sciences Engineering Science And All The Other Departments Of The Great Universities Which Blithely Claim Immunity From Findings That They Are Ethically Impaired.

1766réf. 376944London: J. Almon 1766. First English edition. 62pp. Without the terminal ad leaf. 8vo. Modern full speckled calf spine gilt red morocco label. First English edition. 62pp. Without the terminal ad leaf. 8vo. The scarce first British edition after the first edition printed in Philadelphia in December 1765 of Dickinson's first work an important tract against the Stamp Act. Here Dickinson argued against stricter trade regulations that drained the colonies of currency and warned that taxing the colonies without their consent was a step toward slavery. "Considered only as an essay in economic theory the pamphlet is notable for its discussion of paper money of flows of trade and of the mechanisms and effects of taxation are sophisticated for the time.But the essay is more than a technical treatise. Stylistically it has the vivid phraseology the dramatic exclamatory italicization and paragraphing and the aptness of illustration that would soon make Dickinson the most widely read pamphleteer in the colonies" Bailyn. This can be exemplified by the culminating section of this work in which Dickinson writes: "Late measures have indeed excited an universal and unexampled grief and indignation throughout the colonies. What man who wishes the welfare of America can view without pity without passion her restricted and almost stagnated trade with its numerous train of evils-taxes torn from her without her consent-Her legislative assemblies the principal pillars of her liberty crushed into insignificance-A formidable force established in the midst of peace to bleed her into obedience-The sacred right of trial by jury violated by the erection of arbitrary and unconstitutional jurisdictions-and general poverty discontent and despondence stretching themselves over his unoffending country" Indeed it was in the wake of the dissent following the Stamp Act that Dickinson emerged as arguably the first hero of the Revolution an important spokeman against British tyranny. His Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania published in 1768 would put him at the forefront of the Patriot movement and the philosophical underpinnings of that work can be found in his Late Regulations. It is widely believed that Benjamin Franklin then in London as the colonial agent for Pennsylvania arranged for the work's publication there timed with his famous testimony before the House of Commons protesting the Stamp Act. Both the Philadelphia and London first editions of Dickinson's Late Regulations are considerably more scarce than his Letters from a Farmer with only a single example of either edition appearing in the auction records in the last quarter century.
