Description

Hardcover in publisher’s non price-clipped dust-jacket. 345 pages. Notes, Bibliography, Index. Stated first edition, first printing with full number line. An examination of the contentious election of 1800, one which embodied open partisan warfare in the form of riots, slanders, beatings and jailings; but also marked the first time in modern history that an electorally defeated leader voluntarily stepped down from power. No previous ownership marks. A clean, fresh, unmarked and near as new copy. Near fine in a near fine dust-jacket.
