Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Original Edition. RARE copy of this early 19th century Massachusetts Senate publication - the personal copy of ISRAEL THORNDIKE, signed by him on the front cover. He served in the Senate as a member of the Federalist Party, was an American merchant, politician, industrialist, and slave tra…der. He made a fortune in privateering and the Old China Trade, was active in Federalist Party politics during the Thomas Jefferson and James Madison administrations, and later was one of the largest financiers of the early Industrial Revolution in the United States. His great-great-grandson, Augustus Thorndike, was Chief of Surgery at Harvard University. He is also the 4th-great-grandfather of John Kerry. The term "gerrymander" is attributed to the outcome of a dinner party at Thorndike's Boston home in February 1812. 24 pages. Soft cover with exterior soils, age-toning within. Special Provenance. Book.
