Оценочная стоимость
$ 2 000 – 3 000
Hamilton's savage attack on President John Adams: "an extended tantrum in print … In writing an intemperate indictment of John Adams, Hamilton committed a form of political suicide that blighted the rest of his career" (Chernow, 623, 619). An embittered Hamilton not only attacks administration policies, but paints a picture of an unstable, almost insane President. Friends within the Cabinet had fed Hamilton tales of Adams's violent outbursts and loss of self-control. William Duane, who reprinted this volume in Philadelphia the same year, happily observed that Hamilton's election-year tirade had done more to undermine public faith in the Federalists than all of his previous newspaper attacks combined. Evans 37567.
