About this Item
Description:
Two volumes. [5],xxii-lii,366; [4],511pp. Half titles. Contemporary French half calf, modestly gilt, salmon-colored boards with vellum corners. A lovely, uncut copy. First French edition, variant issue, of this classic of American political theory. This is also the first edition to identify the otherwise anonymous authors, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. Another French edition, with a long introduction by M. Trudaine de la Sablière, the French translator, was also published by Buisson in 1792, and its omission explains the pagination in the present item. The present variant retains the original titlepage, with John Jay's name misspelled as "Gay," and uses the same sheets from the other 1792 printing. This French translation was the first to appear after the original first printing of 1788, in accord with the definite sympathies which existed between the two countries. HOWES H114, "aa." SABIN 23993. FORD 18. GROLIER AMERICAN 100, 19. PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN 234. Seller Inventory # WRCAM45155

Second edition overall and first French. Variant issue. [5],xxii-lii,[1]-366; [4],511 pp. Half titles present. 2 vols. 8vo. The first French edition of Hamilton, Madison, and Jay's celebrated collection of articles supporting the ratification of the United States Constitution. The other issue of this printing contains an introduction by the translator, M. Trudaine de la Sablière, in the first volume (not present here, hence the irregular pagination); the preliminary pages here contain the U.S. Constitution. It is the second edition overall, and the first edition to name the previously anonymous authors (giving their names as Hamilton, Madisson, and Gay). An important edition evocative of the significance of the American precedent to the French revolutionaries. Howes H114; "aa;" Sabin 23993; Ford 18.
