About This Item
New York: Published for the Author by C.T. Geslain, 1828. [3], [1 blank] pp. Music only, unaccompanied by words. Disbound. Lithograph portrait of Calhoun by Endicott. Some spotting, two repaired closed tears with cloth tape [no text loss]. Good+.
This item dates from the early years of George Endicott's lithography firm. He began business in New York in 1828. From 1834 until 1841 he was partners with Moses Swett in the firm Endicott and Swett; in 1841 his brother William joined him.
Until Calhoun became a committed Southern Rights advocate, he was a serious contender for the Presidency. His transformation from American Nationalist to Southern Sectionalist-- and his abandonment of any rational hope for the Presidency-- was illustrated most dramatically in his support for South Carolina's Nullification of the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832.
