The article discusses U.S. statesman John Dickinson (1732-1808) and four works either wrongly attributed to him, or works by him wrongly attributed to someone else. These include: "A Receipt to Make a Speech, by J---- G----, Esquire," attributed to John Galloway; "Remarks on a Late Pamphlet entitled Plain Truth," signed Rusticus; and "Common Sense," signed Fabius.
