4pp. in NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER Vol. 24, No. 3526. Folio. Dbd. Old folds and some light wrinkling. Very good. The second newspaper printing of one of the most important foreign policy statements of the United States government. In this message to Congress, Monroe asserts that the Americas cannot be the subject of colonization by European powers, and that any European intervention in the Americas will be considered a "manifestation of an unfriendly disposition towards the United States." Monroe delivered the Doctrine in his State of the Union message on December 2, 1823, and it was first printed as a NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER "Extra" the same day. We are aware of only a handful of copies of that important broadside printing in private and institutional collections. Monroe's message was reprinted in the December 3 issue of the NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, and then again in this December 4 issue. The printing of the President's message on December 3rd appears on the second and third pages of the newspaper. This December 4 printing of Monroe's message appears on page 4 of the issue and is suitable for broadside display. STREETER SALE 1734 (ref). GROLIER AMERICAN 100, 33. Seller Inventory # WRCAM41657

The rare first printing of James Monroe's final State of the Union address, the year after his famous delivery of the Monroe Doctrine. In his remarks Monroe calls for the final and permanent removal of Native Americans to the West, believing conflicts with the southern Indians to be unavoidable, and therefore their destruction inevitable without the enforcement of such a policy. "In their present state it is impossible to incorporate them in such masses, into any form whatever, into our system." He also restates the importance of the tenets of the Monroe Doctrine, while attempting to make clear his desire for "peaceful relations" with the European powers. Not in AMERICAN IMPRINTS, and with copies recorded by OCLC only at the British Library, New-York Historical Society, and New Jersey Historical Society. Broadside, 23½ x 19 inches. Folded horizontally, with several old vertical folds. Slight wear and a few separations along folds; one chip at head, not affecting text. A couple patches of light staining. Very good.
