Description: Volume V only. Water damage to bottom of pages, boards, and dustjacket. Contains frontispiece depicting Alexander Hamilton circa 1790, by E. Prud'homme. Original light blue cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine and front board. Dust-jacket in poor condition: portion cut, tearing, foxing, scuffing. Some wear and fading to spine ends. Points are lightly frayed. Some dirt on page edges. Interior is mostly unmarked, though pages are wrinkled and there is light water staining to fore-edge and the bottom of some pages. This is volume five in a set of 27 that contain letters and documents written by Hamilton, letters to Hamilton, and documents that concern Hamilton but were not written by or to him. All documents are presented in chronological order. This volume includes material on Hamilton's final efforts to secure the ratification of the constitution, and his work as Secretary of the Treasury under the new government. Some of the sources that describe Hamilton's activities at the New York Ratifying Convention were printed for the first time in this volume, and furnished new insights into the role he and his fellow delegates played in the formation of the Union. This volume contains circulars to the Treasury Department officers, reports to Congress, correspondence on Treasury Department affairs, and more. Hardcover, acceptable condition. 609 pages, octavo. Dampstained, water damage. See our catalog for more volumes in this set.
