Spine almost smooth with very light raised bands; title and name of the publisher William Coleman, of the Evening Post, stamped in gilt block letters; multiple gilt fillets on and around the bands; gilt fleurons; date on the lower spine.

Title page with pen signature, word from the New York district chief Edward Dunscomb, preface--all unpaginated. Some uncut pages. This book brings together five collections of texts linked to the person of Alexander Hamilton, founding father of the then very young Republic of the United States. Of note: a few letters by Aaron Burr, the man who killed Hamilton in a duel... "An American statesman, Alexander Hamilton (January 11, 1755 or 1757 – July 12, 1804) was an influential interpreter and promoter of the American Constitution, as well as the founder of the nation's financial system, the Federalist Party, the United States Coast Guard, and The New York Post newspaper. As the first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton was the principal author of the economic policies of George Washington's administration. He initiated the financing of state debts by the federal government as well as the creation of a national bank, a system of tariffs, and friendly trade relations with Great Britain. His vision included a strong central government led by a vigorous executive branch, a strong commercial economy, with a national bank and support for manufacturing, and a strong military. This vision was challenged by the more agrarian Founding Fathers of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, who formed a rival party. They favored strong states based in rural America and protected by relevant state militias rather than a strong national army and navy. They denounced Hamilton as too pro-Britain and the monarchy in general, and too oriented toward cities, businesses, and banks. This volume was published the same year that Hamilton died in the duel with Aaron Burr." Extremely rare book, the few remaining copies of which survive in libraries in the United States or sell for over $2,000. *********************************** New York, Hopkins & Seymour, 1804.

Ce livre regroupe cinq recueils de textes liés à la personne d'Alexander Hamilton, père fondateur de l'alors toute jeune République des États-Unis. À noter la présence de lettres d'Aaron Burr, l'homme qui tua Hamilton lors d'un duel... "Homme d'État américain, Alexander Hamilton (11 janvier 1755 ou 1757 - 12 juillet 1804) fut un interprète et un promoteur influent de la Constitution américaine, ainsi que le fondateur du système financier du pays, du Parti fédéraliste, de la Garde côtière américaine et du journal The New York Post. Premier secrétaire au Trésor, Hamilton fut le principal auteur des politiques économiques de l'administration de George Washington. Il prit l'initiative du financement des dettes des États par le gouvernement fédéral ainsi que de la création d'une banque nationale, d'un système de tarifs douaniers et de relations commerciales amicales avec la Grande-Bretagne. Sa vision comprenait un gouvernement central fort dirigé par un pouvoir exécutif vigoureux, une économie commerciale forte, avec une banque nationale et un soutien à l'industrie manufacturière, ainsi qu'une armée forte. Cette vision fut contestée par les pères fondateurs de Virginie plus agrariens, Thomas Jefferson et James Madison, qui formèrent un parti rival. Eux favorisaient des États forts basés dans l'Amérique rurale et protégés par des milices relevant de l'État plutôt que d'une armée et d'une marine nationales fortes. Ils dénonçaient Hamilton comme trop favorable à la Grande-Bretagne et à la monarchie en général, et trop orienté vers les villes, les entreprises et les banques. Ce volume fut publié la même année que la mort d'Hamilton lors du duel avec Aaron Burr." Livre rarissime dont les quelques copies restantes subsistent dans des bibliothèques aux États-Unis ou se vendent à plus de 2000 dollars.
