In late September of 1768, a fleet of British warships entered Boston harbor, and two army regiments disembarked for a year-long occupation of the city. The governor, Sir Francis Bernard, had requested these forces as a means of preserving law and order and ensuring the protection of loyalist citizens after several disturbances earlier that summer had raised suspicions against patriot agitators. Samuel Adams, a staunch patriot, was outraged at this treatment, which he called "the grossest and most pointed Insult ever offered to a free People and its whole Legislature." With direct and indirect help from cohorts such as Joseph Warren, John Hancock and Paul Revere, Adams began to record his "journal of occurrences" for distribution among newspaper printers throughout the colonies. Adams knew how to use the press to influence the masses, and, at a time when strict adherence to facts was not a prerequisite to publication, these articles often record the abuses of the city magistrates and the occupying forces with an inflammatory rhetoric that vividly captures the intense feelings of the era. Here is an example of typical invective: "At a Council last Thursday Governor Bernard exhibited another Specimen of the inexpressible Littleness of his Mind, and the Fullness of its Enmity against the People..." The journal articles appeared with Boston datelines and under different titles. In this collection, the datelines are retained along with the original punctuation, capitalization, spelling and syntax except for minor editorial changes to improve consistency and clarity. Several letters, depositions, and other original documents are quoted as evidence of the military abuses and political machinations. An every-name index is included.

The French entered the Pacific in the late 17th century, but the ocean remained largely a Spanish preserve until British navigators began to cross its vast expanse in the mid 1760s. France's concerns that Britain might establish its superiority in the area, meant they welcomed Louis de Bougainville's voyage of exploration undertaken in 1766-9. After handing over the colony he had established in the Falkland Islands to Spain, he sailed through the still relatively unknown Straits of Magellan into the poorly charted South Pacific. He made a number of discoveries in the south west, but was too late to discover Tahiti, where Samuel Wallis had preceded him by less than a year. Reports on Bougainville's reception there and on life in the island were to create wide interest and controversy in Europe. He then sailed to the Samoan Islands and on to Vanuatu, as far as the Great Barrier Reef, and north towards New Guinea and the Samoan Islands making a number of discoveries and all the while leaving his name to a number of features, the best known of which are the island of Bougainville and the Bougainvillea flower. He returned home by way of the Dutch East Indies and the Indian Ocean. Although Bougainville published an account of his voyage in 1771, his original journal was published only in 1977; the present volume makes the latter text available for the first time in English translation.

When members of the founding generation protested against British authority, debated separation, and then ratified the Constitution, they formed the American political character we know today-raucous, intemperate, and often mean-spirited. Revolutionary Dissent brings alive a world of colorful and stormy protests that included effigies, pamphlets, songs, sermons, cartoons, letters and liberty trees. Solomon explores through a series of chronological narratives how Americans of the Revolutionary period employed robust speech against the British and against each other. Uninhibited dissent provided a distinctly American meaning to the First Amendment's guarantees of freedom of speech and press at a time when the legal doctrine inherited from England allowed prosecutions of those who criticized government. Solomon discovers the wellspring in our revolutionary past for today's satirists like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, pundits like Rush Limbaugh and Keith Olbermann, and protests like flag burning and street demonstrations. From the inflammatory engravings of Paul Revere, the political theater of Alexander McDougall, the liberty tree protests of Ebenezer McIntosh and the oratory of Patrick Henry, Solomon shares the stories of the dissenters who created the American idea of the liberty of thought. This is truly a revelatory work on the history of free expression in America.

Midway through the reign of the Ch'ien-lung emperor, Hungli, mass hysteria broke out among the common people. It was feared that sorcerers were roaming the land, clipping off the ends of men's queues (the braids worn by royal decree) and chanting magical incantations over them in order to steal the souls of their owners. In a fascinating chronicle of this epidemic of fear and the official prosecution of soulstealers that ensued, Philip Kuhn opens a window on the world of eighteenth-century China.
