An Anti-Federal compilation, containing:
Address and Reasons of Dissent of the Minority of the Convention of Pennsylvania. (No. 2 infra.)
Letter of Edmund Randolph (No. 116 infra.)
Letters of Centinel.
The Constitution.
Two hundred and twenty-five copies were distributed by the New York Anti-Federal committee to the local county committees of the State.
The “Letters of Centinel,” were by Samuel Bryan, of Philadelphia, and appeared originally in The Independent Gazetteer of that city. The letters were exceedingly personal, and especially severe on Washington and Franklin, so it is rather amusing to find Bryan writing to George Clinton in 1790 and requesting that he use his influence with Washington to obtain for his father a judgeship in the new government, and using his authorship of the letters as the reason for Clinton’s furthering his request.
