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."

18090036London, B. Clarke for Henry Colburn, 1809. First edition. Octavo, 210 x 130 mm, (6) 304 pp. Bound in original quarter brown morocco with corners, spine with 5 raised bands, wine-colored title piece with author's name and title in gold as well as a double gilt fillet on the higher and lower extremities of the piece, year on the bottom of spine. Purple marbled dishes with tons of yellow and bluish waves. Headband. Title page, dedication to the "merchants of Great Britain", Advertisement and table of contents at the beginning of the book. Twelve chapters followed by two appendices (and not just one as indicated in the table) with "Medical advice for Europeans who emigrate to Brazil" and indications on the coins, change and commodity prices. "As the recent political changes in Europe have naturally attracted the general attention towards the New World, no apology, it is presumed, can be deemed necessary for presenting to the public the following succinct account of one of the most interesting colonies in that quarter of the globe. The jealous and illiberal policy which at all times characterized the [Portuguese] government of Brazil in its intercourse with foreigners rendered it difficult to obtain accurate information respecting the productions, reade and commerce of this colony. The author therefore trusts that the information contained herein cannot fail to prove acceptable to the general reader and highly interesting to anyone engaged in commercial speculations." (Advertisement) ********************************* Londres, B. Clarke for Henry Colburn, 1809. Édition originale. Un volume in-8 de 210 x 130 mm pour (6) 304 pp. Relié demi-maroquin tabac à coins d'époque, dos à 5 nerfs, pièce de titre lie-de-vin avec nom d'auteur et titre en doré ainsi qu'un double filet doré en coiffe et queue de la pièce, année en queue. Plats jaspés mauves aux tons de vagues jaunes et bleutés. Tranchefile. Page de titre, dédicace aux "marchands de Grande-Bretagne", avertissement et table des matières en début d'ouvrage. XII chapitres suivis de deux annexes (et non une seule comme indiqué dans le sommaire) avec des "Conseils médicaux aux Européens qui émigrent au Brésil" et des indications sur le change et la valeur des marchandises. "Étant donné que les récents changements politiques survenus en Europe ont naturellement attiré l'attention sur le Nouveau Monde, aucune excuse, semble-t-il, ne saurait s'avérer nécessaires pour présenter au public l'explication ci-après de l'une des colonies les plus intéressantes à cet endroit du globe. La politique jalouse et illibérale qui a toujours caractérisé le gouvernement [portugais] du Brésil dans ses relations avec les étrangers a rendu difficile l'obtention d'informations exactes concernant les productions, les échanges et le commerce de cette colonie. L'auteur estime que les informations contenues ici seront acceptables au lecteur du grand public et extrêmement intéressantes pour quiconque s'est engagé dans le commerce." (Avertissement, traduit)

188601002London: Bickers & Son, 1886. First English edition of this acclaimed Brazilian romance. Translated by Isabel Burton. Slim in-12 volume. 179 x 125 mm, (vii) 101 pp. Bound in half algae green morocco, two raised bands, five gilded bands, name printed vertically in gilt print letters, date on the bottom. Marbled papers with a touch of bright copper on covers, multiple white pages on both ends. White and green headbands. Title page, Translator's preface, Historical argument by the author. Each chapter is merely "Chapter XX", no table of contents. "I cannot allow my readers to remain ignorant of the name of Senhor J. de Alencar, the author of this and several other works; for he deserves to be as well known in England as in Brazil, and it must be the result of the usual modesty of a really clever man that he is not so. He is their first prose and romance writer." (Translator's preface) "In 1603, Pero Coelho, a gentleman of Parahyba, then already belonging to the Portuguese, arrived at the mouth of the river Jaguaribe in Ceará, with a command of 80 colonists and 800 Indians. He there founded the first settlement in Ceará, and called it Nova Lisboa. He was abandoned by his comrades when a certain João Soromenho was sent to him with reinforcements... He did not respect even the Indians of the Jaguaribe river, who were friendly to the Portuguese. This proved the downfall of the growing settlement: the natives resented such tyranny. Pero Coelho, with his wife and young children, was compelled to fly by land to his own province." (Alencar's Historical argument)
