Volume XXII only. Water damage to bottom of pages, boards, and dustjacket. Frontispiece is a miniature of Alexander Hamilton painted for Hamilton's daughter by an unknown artist. 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. Front interior hinge is weak and showing mesh. Some dirt on page edges. Interior contains a few light pencil notations, pages are wrinkled, and there is light water staining to fore-edge and the bottom of some pages. This is volume twenty-two 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 deals in large part with Hamilton's role as Inspector General of the army authorized by congress to be raised in anticipation of a possible war with France. Much of the correspondence concerns the dispute over the relative rank of the three major generals, Hamilton, Henry Knox, and Charles Coatsworth Pinckney. The one ranked first would be second in command to George Washington in his capacity as commanding officer of the U.S. Army. At the conclusion of the American Revolution, Hamilton was outranked by Picnkney and Knox, but Hamilton was the favorite of Washington, while the other two were favored by President John Adams. Other documents relate to the day-to-day demands of recruiting, supplying, and organizing the troops, including Hamilton's "Army Lists," commenting on qualifications of Army applicants. This volume also contains letters and documents on the Federalist position on the Alien and Sedition Acts, opposition to President Adams's decisions and appointments. Hardcover, acceptable condition. 649 pages, octavo. Dampstained, water damage. See our catalog for more volumes in this set. …
