Description
This study focuses on two critical figures in late eighteenth-century America--the physician Benjamin Rush and the journalist William Cobbett-- as they clashed in one of the most important trials of post-revolutionary America, a libel trial that pitted medicine against the press, republicanism against federalism, and privacy against the public welfare.
