Benjamin Franklin and Polly Baker (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780807839805)

Hall has made the first detailed investigation of Polly Baker. It leads through the exciting world of eighteenth-century journalism, literature, and statecraft. Ben Franklin occupies a position in the story second only to Polly Baker herself. Evident throughout is the tendency of people, even in an age of enlightenment, to believe what they see -- provided they see it in print.

Originally published in 1960.
