Item description from seller

Volume XIII only. Water damage to bottom of pages, boards, and dustjacket. Frontispiece is 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 split into two pieces at spine, and sustained water damage, light foxing, scuffing. Some wear and fading to spine ends. Mesh is visible at inside hinge, both front and back. 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 thirteen 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, covering the last months of 1792 and early 1793, provides continued evidence of Hamilton's expert handling of the business of the Treasury Department. Among the book's documents are Hamilton's reports in response to the "Giles Resolutions," which were passed in the House in an attempt to discredit Hamilton's handling of the Treasury. Correspondence reveals the pressure put on the Treasury by American merchants and French diplomatic representatives as a result of strife in Santo Domingo. Other documents reveal Hamilton's part in the U.S. attempt to avert a war with the Indians on the northwestern frontier, and the government's problems with Spanish aid for Indian raids on the country's southern border. Hamilton's controversy with John F. Mercer is developed further in this volume, and political overtones appear in the Hamilton-Reynolds Affair, the first major sex scandal in American political history. Hardcover, acceptable condition. 620 pages, octavo. Dampstained, water damage. See our catalog for more volumes in this set.…
