Item description from seller

Volume XII only. Water damage to bottom of pages, boards, and dustjacket. Contains frontispiece of a 1792 oil painting of Alexander Hamilton by John Trumbull. 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. 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 twelve 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. As Hamilton completes his third year as Secretary of the Treasury, his correspondence reflected administrative changes in Treasury, including the delegation of duties to the comptroller and commissioner of revenue. The sinking fund, payment of foreign debts, and negotiation of foreign loans occupied a major part of Hamilton's attention, as well as open resistance to excise, culminating in the Whiskey Insurrection of 1794. This volume also contains documents relating to Hamilton's life as a private citizen, including a search for a schoolmaster, acknowledgement of an honorary Harvard degree, and Hamilton's continuing interest in manufacturing. Finally, the correspondence in this volume shows the growing asperity in party politics, including disputed elections, and Hamilton's articles attacking Thomas Jefferson. Hardcover, acceptable condition. 677 pages, octavo. Dampstained, water damage. See our catalog for more volumes in this set.…
