Over 100,000 books, pamphlets, and periodicals were published during the period, 1776-1825. A mere
358 reprint the text of the Declaration of Independence; two thirds of these do not mention the Declaration of Independence in
their title, thus making the Declaration of Independence checklist the vital link, or key to the lock, so-to-speak, permitting
these works to be accessed. Each such work, is a primary information source, important in its own right, but doubly important
because it reprints the Declaration of Independence -- one of the country's founding documents. Together, the checklist
entries trace the history of the Declaration of Independence, heretofore not possible to be studied in such depth and detail. It is no accident that thousands of our citizens visit the National Archives in Washington, D.C., each year to view
the hand inscribed copy of the Declaration of Independence. No scholar or student of law, history,
or political science should be without this important book. Return to the Home Page. |
