Reviews

A Choice Outstanding Academic Title (2007).

"Kalter . . . has done students of early America a service, not only providing the first annotated edition of the fourteen treaties printed and sold by Franklin since Julian Boyd's 1938 volume but also welcoming the opportunity to employ the theoretical and methodological advances of the intervening decades. . . . There is much to admire in Kalter's effort. . . . She has done her part to ensure that more voices will be heard as the dialogue of interpretation continues."--Journal of the Early Republic
