Beschreibung

The first edition of this fascinating 18th century essay chastising Pierre-Auguste Adet, a French ambassador to the United States; unusual in this condition. The first edition of this uncommon work rebound in a later cloth binding. Pierre-Auguste Adet (1763-1834) was a French ambassador to the United States, who had publicly attacked the 1794 Jay's Treaty with England, probably because it would make England, rather than France, the America's principal ally. He found many supporters amongst President Washington's administration. In this volume, William Cobbett furiously defends President Washington's foreign policy. Many copies of this work are disbound; it is rare to find this work in such smart condition. Rebound in a cloth binding. Externally in lovely condition. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are clean but age toned with the odd spot, as is usual of paper this age. Very Good Indeed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 847M29
