The address to Whiskey, and part of the correspondence
which followed.
Written in humorous verse.
"The address to Whiskey made its appearance in the western parts of
Pennsylvania shortly after the insurrection in that quarter, in the
year 1794...It was said to be written by a citizen of that country
of the name of Bruce, and drew from me an answer which led to a '
correspondence, which was carried on to a considerable length; and
some part of which I have collected and inserted here." Author's

The edition of 1856 contains a biographical notice of Brackenridge reprinted
from the "Southern literary messenger," v.8, Jan. 1842.
The greater part of this notice has to do with Brackenridge's connection
with the Whiskey insurrection.
"Two years after the insurrection, he published the first volume of
Modern Chivalry, in which many traces of those times may be discovered.
His object was to write something that would indoctrinate
the people themselves on the subject of government, and correct those
errors into which their almost boundless state of freedom would be
apt to lead them. .. Modern Chivalry is a profound philosophical and
political work under the guise of pleasantry." Biographical notice.
