Full title - THE NEW-ENGLAND PATRIOT: BEING A CANDID COMPARISON, OF THE PRINCIPLES AND CONDUCT OF THE WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON ADMINISTRATIONS. THE WHOLE FOUNDED UPON INDISPUTABLE FACTS AND PUBLIC DOCUMENTS, TO WHICH REFERENCE IS MADE IN THE TEXT AND NOTES. [2], 1-148, 1-12 pages. H 20.25cm x L 12.75cm. Lacks boards or wraps. Stitched text block without preliminary and concluding flyleaves/endpapers; first leaf present is title and concludes with twelve page "Notes" section (as called for by Wright Howes although past Bill Reese catalog calls for an errata as well which is not present). Varying chipping and tears mostly occurring to several initial and rear leaves but no loss of text; past bookseller's authorship note in pencil on title page; some creasing and toning to interior leaves. Binding shows some stress but stitching is holding. Attributed author John Lowell [Jr.] lauds Washington and critiques Jefferson while reviewing early Federal period political events and Anglo-American relations. Born in Newburyport, Massachusetts to jurist and Congress of the Confederation delegate John Lowell and Sarah Higginson Lowell, John Lowell, Jr. graduated from Phillips Andover and Harvard and became a prominent attorney and Federalist Party activist who served in the Massachusetts legislature. Lowell, Jr. wrote a number of tracts under anonymous or pseudonymous authorship with many vigorously opposing French influences upon the young country, defending British policies, and attacking Jefferson and Madison's Democratic-Republican Party.
