Water damage to bottom of pages, boards, and dustjacket. Frontispiece of an oil painting of Alexander Hamilton by Ezra Ames, circa 1802. Original light blue cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine and front board. Dust-jacket sustained water damage, light foxing, scuffing, minor tearing. Some wear and fading to spine ends. Dirt on page edges, and interior pages. Interior contains a few light pencil notations, pages are wrinkled, and there is water staining to fore-edge and the bottom of some pages. This is volume twenty-three 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. In the seven months contained in this volume, Hamilton served as inspector general of the army raised during the undeclared war with France, and his correspondence deals with recruiting, supplying, and organizing the troops of the Regular and Additional Armies. During this period, Hamilton prepared his \"Plan for the providing and issuing of Military Supplies,\" tried to implement rules adopted by President John Adams, and enforced the \"Regulations Respecting Extra Allowances to Officers.\" This volume contains General James Wilkinson's report on the strengths and weaknesses of the Western Army. In foreign policy, Hamilton opposed Adams's decision to send diplomats to France to negotiate a new treaty, and he enlisted the assistance of James McHenry, Timothy Pickering, and Oliver Wolcott, Jr., in a failed attempt to force Adams to suspend the mission. Finally, this volume contains the first letter in a protracted dispute between Louis Le Guen, one of Hamilton's law-practice clients, and Aaron Burr. Hardcover, acceptable condition. 728 pages, octavo. Dampstained, water damage.
