As a military aide to George Washington, forceful critic of the Articles of Confederation, persuasive proponent of ratification of the Constitution, first Secretary of the Treasury, & leader of the Federalist party, Hamilton devoted himself to the creation of a militarily & economically powerful American nation guided by a strong republican government. His public & private writings demonstrate the perceptive intelligence, confident advocacy, driving ambition & profound concern for honor & reputation that contributed both to his rise to fame & to his tragic early death. Arranged chronologically, "Writings" contains more than 170 letters, speeches, essays, reports, & memoranda written between 1769 & 1804. Included are all 51 of Hamilton's contributions to "The Federalist", as well as subsequent writing calling for a broad construction of federal power under the Constitution; his famous speech to the Constitutional Convention, which gave rise to accusations that he favored monarchy; early writings supporting the Revolutionary cause & a stronger central government; his visionary reports as Treasury secretary on the public credit, a national bank, & the encouragement of American manufactures; a detailed confession of adultery made by Hamilton in order to defend himself against charges of official misconduct; & his self-destructive attack on John Adams during the 1800 campaign. An extensive selection of private letters illuminates Hamilton's complex relationship w/ George Washington, his deep affection for his wife & children, his mounting fears during the 1790s regarding the Jeffersonian opposition & the French Revolution, & his profound distrust of Aaron Burr. Included in an appendix are conflicting eyewitness accounts of the Hamilton-Burr duel. * ALEXANDER HAMILTON (1757-1804) was born in the West Indies & served during the War of Independence as a captain. His military brilliance was recognized, & he was sent on several important military commissions. He was George Washington's secretary & aide-de-camp & in 1787 become a Member of the Constitutional Convention. From 1789 to 1795 he was the first Secretary of the Treasury, & in 1801 he held the casting vote against Burr & for Jefferson. He fought a duel w/ Burr & died the next day. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic). * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee. …
