Printed by various print houses, including Bailie & Gallaher (Richmond, Va); L.G. Hoffman (Albany, N.Y.); Hearld Office (Ithaca, N.Y.). (Not found in Checklist or Collins). An attractive example, scarce. President Andrew Jackson's Farewell Address, delivered on March 4, 1837, warned against sectionalism, corruption, and the concentration of economic power, particularly criticizing the Bank of the United States, which he viewed as a threat to liberty and republican equality. Jackson urged adherence to the Union, the Constitution, and popular sovereignty, portraying himself as a guardian of the common people against entrenched privilege. He concluded the address: "My own race is nearly run; advanced age and failing health warn me that before long I must pass beyond the reach of human events and cease to feel the vicissitudes of human affairs. I thank God that my life has been spent in a land of liberty, and that he has given me a heart to love my country with the affection of a son. And filled with gratitude for your constant and unwavering kindness, I bid you a last and affectionate farewell.".

This pamphlet is related to a property case brought by William Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland, against James Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale and the corporation of Carlisle in 1765. The land grant to Portland's ancestors rested on an act of James I that specified that ownership of lands held for sixty years could no longer be challenged except by the Crown. In 1767 Lonsdale successfully petitioned the Crown Treasury to revoke Portland's right to the land, claiming that it was not being used in accordance with the rules of the grant. In response, Portland's allies claimed no land would ever be safe if the legal issue at the heart of the case, nullum tempus occurrit regi ("no time runs against the king") was implemented. In the end Portland prevailed. Fehsenfeld [1925-1995] was an antiques specialist and appraiser based in Baltimore, Maryland.
