The article is on its way. I am sending attached with this email some information about my book of stories from free speech history. They show development of a strong free speech tradition outside of the courts and show many basic free speech ideas had a long heritage in popular discussion before the Supreme Court adopted them.
I use selected chapters from this book in my free speech and legal history classes--e.g. the chapters on the Sedition Act; on Lovejoy; on Helper-Worth and the free speech background of the 14th Amendment; & the ones on Lincoln, Vallandigham, and anti-war speech during the Civil War. If you have a colleague who might be interested you might pass the information on to her or to him. Thanks for asking for the Bingham piece. best wishes, Michael Scott Gerber wrote: > See also David A.J.
