About This Item

8vo, unusual modern binding of scaled leather spine and tips, and vinyl type cloth, 120 pp. Binding is worn and chipped along spine, a couple of pieces are missing at spine edges, top hinge weak, some foxing and soling to contents, pencil notation on page opposite title, and author's name penciled on title page. Aaron Burr (1756-1836) was a colorful character in American history, who fought in the Revolutionary War, would become Vice President, and would kill Alexander Hamilton in a duel in July 1804. James Cheetham may not have always had a problem with Burr, but in a "Pamphlet War" he would challenge the political behavior of Burr. This pamphlet appears to be a follow-up to another article by Cheetham that called for an investigation of Bur, but produced no results. Cheetham appears to believe that Burr "schemed with the Federalists in 1801 to steal the presidency from Jefferson." According to the DAB fearing the damage this pamphlet could do to him and the party, Burr wanted to suppress it by purchasing all 1250 copies. DAB. Howes C340.
