1839ref. 50059New Haven: S. Babcock 1839. First edition small 8vo pp. viii 9-248; full contemporary sheep rebacked; good sound copy with an important presentation "To Professor Silliman with the author's regards." A tear through the presentation has been skillfully mended and as the inscription is written in red pencil it is a bit faint. With Silliman's bookplate on the front pastedown and the subsequent bookplate of Henry McIntosh. In a quarter brown morocco clamshell box. Silliman was perhaps the best-known scientific man in America in the first half of the 19th century a highly respected professor of chemistry and natural history at Yale and a long-time friend of Webster's. Like Webster he was an editor a compiler of textbooks and a prominent Connecticut citizen and Yale alumnus. Skeel 574. S. Babcock unknown
1819ref. 24603New-York: Printed by C.S. Van Winkle 1819. 39 1 blank pp. Disbound wrapper remnants in inner margins of first and last page. Light soil Good. This pamphlet advocates in response to the Panic of 1819 "two restrictions on banks: first they may discount no 'accommodation paper' i.e. simple loans that were not self-liquidating in the course of active trade; and second that they grant no renewals of loans." The absence of such restrictions the author argues encouraged excessive speculations and brought about the depression. See Rothbard 'The Panic of 1819' page 132 1962. As evidence Aristides cites the "wild enthusiasm" which characterized resumption of commerce after the 1815 Treaty of Ghent and the resulting extensions of credit "to the utmost limit." Authorship has been variously attributed to Webster and Van Ness. Skeel doubts Webster's hand. "Among other reasons she states that the Letter does not seem to be written in his style and that she finds no allusion to it in his letters. The pamphlet has also been ascribed to William P. Van Ness another who used the pseudonym 'Aristides.'" Sabin. AI 49978 4. Sabin 102364. See Skeel page 563 note 12. Printed by C.S. Van Winkle unknown books
ref. 3730409Philadelphia: Likely published by William Duane 1800. 8vo. 8pp. Caption title. Self-wrappers as issued; once sewn. Near fine housed in a custom cloth clamshell box with gilt-lettered leather spine label. Webster’s Federalist Riposte to Hamilton’s Political Betrayal Pseudonymously authored by Noah Webster as “Aristides” this pamphlet delivers a searing rebuke of Alexander Hamilton for his public denouncement of President John Adams and his behind-the-scenes intrigues within the Federalist Party. Issued in response to Hamilton’s Letter. Concerning the Public Conduct and Character of John Adams Webster defends Adams—particularly his support for naval defenses—and accuses Hamilton of undermining constitutional authority for personal ambition. A key moment in the bitter internal collapse of the Federalists the pamphlet reflects Webster’s political alignment with Adams but also his alarm at Hamilton’s ambitions. “Think not sir” writes Webster “that all the monstrous schemes of daring ambitious men to overawe and controul sic the constitutional powers of our government are either hidden or approved by federal men.” Hamilton’s letter issued late in the 1800 campaign proved a catastrophic miscalculation accelerating the Federalist defeat and Adams’s loss to Jefferson. Though unsigned Webster’s authorship was swiftly exposed. In November of 1800 the New York Gazette mocked the pamphlet: “A more puerile catch penny production never blotted paper” declaring the author “appears from his work about as well qualified for the task as a Billingsgate oyster is to contemplate the principles of Newtonian philosophy.” Sabin 29960; see also 102361. Skeel-Carpenter 729. Not in Ford but see 61–62. Evans 39045 incorrectly suggesting New York as place of publication. ESTC W41582. Sheidley 44. Skeel records six variant printings all from 1800; only one bears an imprint and no priority has been established. Ours is the only printing Skeel attributes to Philadelphia which in 1800 was giving way to the District of Columbia as the nation’s capital. Skeel pointedly refuted Wilberforce Eames’s claim that it was published in New York. unknown
