About This Item

New-London: Printed by Samuel Green, for the Author, 1829. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 12mo. 204, [1] pages. Hardcover bound in original full leather. The binding is worn and bumped with some old scuffing but is sound. Hinges secure. Early owner's inscription on the front flyleaf reads, "Mr. John Bishop's Boo," and his name is again carefully written on the title page. Damped at the bottom corner of the front flyleaf and title page, and this disappears about page 20. Text is foxed throughout. A scarce work of essays of history and opinion, many decidedly political or patriotic. Two quotes on the title page are by Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Christopher Manwaring (1774-1832) was born in New London, Connecticut and lived much of his life there. He was a friend of James Madison and it is reported that he was an early admirer of Andrew Jackson. This volume contains nearly 20 essays on various subjects, many dealing with early American history and political opinions. Some essays include: "American Revolution;" "Government;" Jefferson's Administration;" "The Embargo;" "The Late War;" "On the Fourth of July, 1776.;" "On Taxation and Rights of Suffrage;" "On Mutual Dependance and Independence;" and several others.
