Hamilton, Alexander, James Madison and John Jay: The Federalist. Franklin Center: The Franklin Library, 1977. Limited Edition.

The end papers are bright red silk and there is a matching silk placement ribbon sewn-in at the head of the spine. The edges of the text block are all gilt. An octavo measuring 9 by 6 inches containing 654 pages of text. With the apparent failure of the Articles of Confederation to allow the new nation of the United States to effectively govern itself it became apparent in May of 1787 that the Articles would have to be replaced by a more resilient and cohesive document. This gave rise to the creation of what we now know as the Constitution of the United States. Once the document was drafted it was necessary to have it accepted by at least nine states before the new government could take control. Each state in the then Union was permitted to either approve the document or reject it and if rejected go on its way on its own. The state of New York was considered critical to the adoption process. The authors of the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay saw the importance of encouraging the voters of the state of New York to approve the new Constitution. To this aim they each created essays, written under a single pseudonym, which were published in various New York newspapers. The resulting assemblage became known as the Federalist and has since been considered one of the three most important documents produced by the United States. Even Thomas Jefferson "acclaimed The Federalist as 'the best commentary on the principles of government ever written,' and it has often been quoted in Supreme Court decisions." (Introduction of this title.) This is one of the Franklin Press's volumes in their series The 100 Greatest Books of All Time. Unlike the original document this version attributes each essay to its author.

Hawthorne, Nathaniel: The House of Seven Gables A Romance. Boston: Ticknor, Reed, and Fields, 1851. Two First Editions, Both mixed states. Two first editions of mixed states both in very good+ condition in their original bindings of light brown cloth covered boards with gilt text on the spines and blind embossed decorations and borders on the front and rear boards. Catalogs of different dates are present in both books tipped-in between the light yellow end pages. Both copies have been expertly repaired at the heads and heels of the spines. Both are 12mos, but one is 7 1/8 by 4 1/2 inches and the other is 7 by 4 1/2 inches and both containing 344 pages of text. Both are 2mos, but one is 7 1/8 by 4 1/2 inches and the other is 7 by 4 1/2 inches and both containing 344 pages of text. Both copies are contained within a leather and cloth covered clamshell box with gilt text on the spine end. The issue points with these two copies are mixed. Both show the "t" missing in the word "apparent" on line 25 of page 50 and the "r" missing on line 25 of page 278. (Ahern 2002, p. 303) However neither copy shows any battered type to the letters "t" and "h" on page 149, lines 1-2. (Bruccoli/Clark Vol.1 p172). And, odder still, is a missing "1" for the page number 341 in the copy with the catalog dated "March, 1851". (This is an issue point that this dealer has not seen listed in any bibliography.) The other copy has the complete page number. The matter of the catalog dated "July, 1852" is of no consequence in determining any printing or edition. (See BAL Vol.1, p.XXXIII which can be summarized with this quote: "Inserted catalogs which are dated...may indicate the time of binding, but not the time of printing of the book.") One of Hawthorne's most famous novels and considered a classic of early American literature. Hawthorne believed this to be his best work, even better than his more famous The Scarlet Letter. (BAL 7604; Bruccoli/Clark - p. 172; Pye, The 100 Most Significant Books Published by Ticknor and Fields 1832-1871, p.40)

Irving, Washington: Bracebridge Hall; or, The Humorists. London: John Murray, 1822. First Edition, First printing. Both volumes of this two volume set are in very good+ condition in recently rebacked 3/4 leather and green, pebbled cloth covered boards with four raised bands on the spine with the original gilt on red leather title labels in the compartments. The edges of the text blocks are speckled. Both volumes are small octavos measuring 8" tall by 5" deep. Both volumes have an early prior owner's book plate on the front paste downs and there is offsetting from the overlaid leather onto the end sheets. Minor foxing and tanning exists in the pages of the text blocks. Volume I contains 393 pages of text and volume II contains 403 pages of text. The points existing on leaf 93-94 of volume I and pages 403 and 404 indicate that this is the first state of the first edition of this title. Although the English edition appeared two days after the American edition was released the English edition contains a number of alternations to the text made by Irving which do not appear in the American edition. As a result the British first edition is considerably different from the American first. (Langfeld/Blackburn p. 24; and, BAL 10110) A very attractive and clean set.
