A near fine copy.<br /> <br /> Created and published in the immediate wake of high political drama in France - the Paris Commune aka the Fourth French Revolution when the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War led to the fall of Emperor Louis Napoleon III's Second French Empire the establishment of the Third French Republic and near immediate popular workers' "communards" insurrection in concert with the citizen's National Guard against the forces of Versailles which though Republican held direct rule over Paris. The Communards established self-rule in the city and became in effect the local city council from March 18 1871 through May 28 1871 when Versailles government forces defeated the armed Communards and local National Guard in the streets during La Semaine Sanglante "the Bloody Week" and left sections of Paris in ruins. <br /> <br /> L'Eclipse publisher of this series by Cham was a weekly newspaper founded in 1868 and edited by François Polo a Republican who published pamphlets against the Emperor Napoleon III yet was no sympathizer of Republican socialists who were blamed for excess and the short-lived but no less deadly with an estimated 10000-50000 killed civil war.

3730409<p>Philadelphia: Likely published by William Duane 1800. 8vo. 8pp. Caption title. Self-wrappers as issued; once sewn. Near fine housed in a custom cloth clamshell box with gilt-lettered leather spine label.</p> <p>Webster’s Federalist Riposte to Hamilton’s Political Betrayal</p> <p>Pseudonymously authored by Noah Webster as “Aristides†this pamphlet delivers a searing rebuke of Alexander Hamilton for his public denouncement of President John Adams and his behind-the-scenes intrigues within the Federalist Party. Issued in response to Hamilton’s Letter. Concerning the Public Conduct and Character of John Adams Webster defends Adams—particularly his support for naval defenses—and accuses Hamilton of undermining constitutional authority for personal ambition.</p> <p>A key moment in the bitter internal collapse of the Federalists the pamphlet reflects Webster’s political alignment with Adams but also his alarm at Hamilton’s ambitions. “Think not sir†writes Webster “that all the monstrous schemes of daring ambitious men to overawe and controul sic the constitutional powers of our government are either hidden or approved by federal men.†Hamilton’s letter issued late in the 1800 campaign proved a catastrophic miscalculation accelerating the Federalist defeat and Adams’s loss to Jefferson.</p> <p>Though unsigned Webster’s authorship was swiftly exposed. In November of 1800 the New York Gazette mocked the pamphlet: “A more puerile catch penny production never blotted paper†declaring the author “appears from his work about as well qualified for the task as a Billingsgate oyster is to contemplate the principles of Newtonian philosophy.â€</p> <p>Sabin 29960; see also 102361.

An interesting work on saving and thrift by a consequential American diplomat. Most of the essays blame poverty and bankruptcy on moral faults such as reckless spending and devotion to fashion.
