John Dalrymple (political writer)
- John Dalrymple (political writer)
John Dalrymple (1734–1779), Scottish writer, wrote numerous political tracts, among which "Answers for the Right Honourable John Dalrymple, Lord Provost of the city of Edinburgh, and others; to the petition of James Stoddart, Esq; late old Provost, and James Stirling, Esq; late one of the bailies of said city, and others" is the most widely preserved.
John Taylor of Caroline, in his "Inquiry into the Principles and Policy of the Governments of the United States", noted that he had read a "book [...] written by a Sir John Dalrymple, an Englishman [sic] , containing a proposition for a reunion beteween England [sic] and the United States, upon terms nearly similar to the constitution of Neuchattel" (p.113). (Dalrymple was in fact a Scot, and the proposed reunion would have been with the Kingdom of Great Britain, not "England".)
