Some foxing, dampstains thoughout; overall good or better. A scarce and impassioned long poem written from the perspective of commercial traders in the northeast who were suffering from President Thomas Jefferson's 1807 embargo on trade with Britain and France. THe poet writes, "Who can withold his admiration/From our beloved administration?/Instead of wandering o'er the world,/Where bloody standards are unfurled,/Instead of hunting foeas afar,/And arming hosts for distant war,/Like genuine philosophic elves,/They manfully subdue themselves;/And, to increase our dire disasters,/Make prisoners of their lords and masters." Scarce in the trade; the last copy traced in Rare Book Hub is in fact our very copy offered here, which appeared in an M&S catalogue in 1996. Wegelin (p. 61) states: "I am inclined to believe that this scarce piece was printed in New York, the Plymouth imprint being simply a blind to hide the author's identity and place of residence."
