Seller's Description:
Near Fine. 1992. Tall paperback, 8½ x 11. Illustrated throughout, 64 pages. Book complements an exhibition that was at Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. Condition of book: Very light bump to corner of back corner, affecting several pages (minor curl of corners) and to spine backing (almost not noticeable); else overall Near Fine. Book stored in temperature-controlled bookcase-free of the smoke smell of a cigarette or cigar smoker. This book addresses Jefferson's life and beliefs. For practically every view he propounded, contrary views existed, and they often were defended with force and intelligence by his opponents. This essay on Jefferson's view of the nation is presented in the context of the political conflicts of his time. Alexander Hamilton viewed Jefferson's approach as overly favoring rural America, with its dependence upon market restraints, reliance upon slave labor, and weakening of the central government through excessive favoring of the rights of the states. This essay presents both Jefferson and Hamilton's views in tandem, to suggest something of the nature of the political contest that raged in the final decade of the 18th century-two powerful leaders and their followers contended for the leadership of the nation. Not just dry history, but a collision of views underlying American politics today. A collectible work. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
