18021216Boston: Munroe & Francis 1802. First edition. Octavo. 44 pages. Loose signatures. Very good overall. Untrimmed wide margins disbound some leaves unopened. Water tide mark to lower inner and bottom margin of last two leaves. Two Jeffersonians--Bacon of Massachusetts and Nicholson of Maryland--argue in favor of the repeal of the Judiciary Act of 1801 which stacked the federal judiciary with Federalists appointed by the departing President John Adams. <br /> <br /> Joseph Hopper Nicholson was a native of Chestertown Maryland and attended Washington College. He practiced law and served a brief term in the Maryland House of Delegates before being elected to the U.S. Congress in 1799. When the U.S. House of Representatives had to decide the election of 1800 Nicholson was ill and bedridden but so staunchly anti-Federalist that he had himself carried to Congress on a stretcher to cast his vote for Jefferson.<br /> <br /> Ref.
