"Lawmaking and Legislators in Pennsylvania, Volume 2, 1710-1756: A Biographical Dictionary" with Craig Horle and Joseph Foster

This superb biographical dictionary of Pennsylvania legislators provides elaborate accounts of each Pennsylvania lawmaker who served during the period covered by the volume, with detailed scholarly introductions analyzing the makeup of the legislature and the entire lawmaking process. The introductions alone should be required reading for all students of colonial Pennsylvania. . . . The publication of the first two volumes of this series has set a standard by which similar projects must be measured. Description courtesy of The American Genealogist
