Title: The Olive Branch, or Faults on Both Sides, Federal and Democratic. A Serious Appeal on the Necessity of Mutual Forgiveness and Harmony, to Save Our Common Country from Ruin.
Author: M. (Mathew) Carey
Publisher: Rowe and Hooper, Boston
Published: 1815
Binding: Hardcover
Language: English
Edition: 3rd edition
Number of Pages: 336
Catalogs: American History, Political Science, Military History
Description: Third edition, 1815. Original pale blue paper over boards with cream paper spine, in very rough condition. Spine is cracked and stitching is exposed, but holding. Pages are greatly foxed and stained, edges are deckled. Tips are exposed and boards are spotted with wear. A few pages are loose, some pencil marks and light pest damage. The book, as the author notes in the preface, is intended to restore harmony in the United States at the end of the War of 1812. This was due to support for the war falling along party lines, with the Democratic-Republican party in favor, and the Federalist party against. The war was contemporaneously viewed as a second war of independence, in part due to British attempts to thwart American trade with France, and Britain's support of Tecumseh's Confederacy in the Northwest, which resisted American colonial settlement. Federalists, particularly of New England, were opposed to the war on political, economic, and religious grounds. This edition was printed at the conclusion of the war in 1815, and in his preface Carey seems to have perceived a threat to the union in the divisiveness of the war, necessitating this attempt at reconciliation. Mathew Carey (1760-1839) was an Irish-born American publisher and economist who lived and worked in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He founded The Pennsylvania Herald, The Columbian Magazine, and The American Museum, published the first American atlases, and in 1822 published Essays on Political Economy; or, The Most Certain Means of Promoting the Wealth, Power, Resources, and Happiness of Nations, Applied Particularly to the United States. Hardcover, acceptable condition. 336 pages, 12mo.
