Broadside, 23 1/2 x 19 inches. Folded horizontally, with several old vertical folds. Slight wear and a few separations along folds; one chip at head, not affecting text. A couple patches of light staining. Very good. The rare first printing of James Monroe's final State of the Union address, the year after his famous delivery of the Monroe Doctrine. In his remarks Monroe calls for the final and permanent removal of Native Americans to the West, believing conflicts with the southern Indians to be unavoidable, and therefore their destruction inevitable without the enforcement of such a policy. "In their present state it is impossible to incorporate them in such masses, into any form whatever, into our system." He also restates the importance of the tenets of the Monroe Doctrine, while attempting to make clear his desire for "peaceful relations" with the European powers. Not in AMERICAN IMPRINTS, and with copies recorded by OCLC only at the British Library, New-York Historical Society, and New Jersey Historical Society. Seller Inventory # WRCAM54277
