Second revised edition. A standard work of which Herbert says: "In the next generation of British writers one continues to feel a modern sense of color that is usually regarded as a prerogative of French Impressionists. The manual by Bacon stresses binary and triadic color harmonies unencumbered by the long disquisitions on aesthetics that mark most French treatises and its plates although in rather conservative figurative imagery show color opposites directly opposed and three color harmonies that look forward to Neo-Impressionism and Fauvism."

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.
