About this Item

An influential address on the acquisition of Louisiana, highly partisan in outlook: "To federalists, this territory, for which they would have shed blood, now seems a barren waste, where no verdure quickens; but to us it appears fruitful, abounding in broad rivers and streams, producing whatever is necessary to our commerce with foreign nations." Shaw & Shoemaker distinguish two printings of this pamphlet, the other originating from [Hartford]. It is just possible that they are one and the same printing. HOWES B472, "aa." SHAW & SHOEMAKER 5881. SABIN 5596. EBERSTADT 135:496. Modern half morocco and cloth. Small old circular blindstamp on titlepage. Light tanning and staining, else very good.
