Two documents from Alexander Hamilton...
Item # 701740
January 20, 1790
GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES, New York, Jan. 20, 1790 Over half of page 2 is taken up with: "Summary View of the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury..." submitted to the House on January 14.
This is a very notable report--this being s "summary view" of a very lengthy document--concerning the topic of public credit. The full document is considered one of the greatest American state papers. It laid the groundwork for Hamilton's campaign to restore the credit of the United States & define the role of the federal govt. in the new Union.
It was also the catalyst for the creation of opposing political parties in the bitter debate that ensued over Hamilton's proposals. Much of our political & governmental system springs from this document.
Page 3 has various reports from: "Congress - House of Representatives" which includes a letter signed in type: Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury.
Four pages, slightly irregular at the blank spine margin from disbinding, nice condition.
