Samuel Bryan (1759 - 1821) was an Anti-Federalist writer of Pennsylvanian, who wrote during the American Revolution. Historians generally regard it as the Letters of Centinel written under the pennant Centinel between 1787 and 1789. Centinel attacked the proposed United States Constitution as a document for the benefit of a "healthy little born." He is the son of George Bryan, a judge in the Pennsylvania High Court and the main Anti-Federalist in the state, to whom the essay is often linked at the time they were written.
Centinel wrote three essay series. The first eighteen numbers appeared in late 1787 and early 1788, and reflected the anti-Federalist opposition to the Constitution. Letters XIX through XXIV were produced towards the end of 1788. By this time, the Constitution had been adopted, and this essay sought to influence the election of representatives for the new government. In 1789, a final series of 69 papers appeared on proposed amendments to the Constitution.
