A sammelband of pamphlets relative to James Madison1783-1810MADISON, James – JEFFERSON, Thomas. A sammelband of pamphlets, apparently bound for the use of James Madison, various places, 1783-1810. Bound in with fragments of two manuscript address panels, one of which is addressed to Madison as Secretary of State in Thomas Jefferson's hand and bearing his franking signature ("Th:Jefferson"). An unusual sammelband with manuscript endpapers linking Madison and Jefferson. A fascinating collection of pamphlets including several works important to Madison's political career, namely, a copy of Standing Rules and Orders of the House of Representatives of the United States.
