This article focuses on the book "Rebels and Gentlemen: Philadelphia in the Age of Franklin," by Carl and Jessica Bridenbaugh. Here is a book devoted to Philadelphia which is neither a history of the Quaker city nor a guidebook. It deals with the life, culture, arts, and achievements of the inhabitants of Philadelphia during the age of statesman Benjamin Franklin, a period that runs approximately from 1730 to 1790. The author is sure that it will surprise most readers to learn that Philadelphia, at the time of the American Revolution, was the second largest city in the British Empire.
