Description
Boston: Russell, Odiorne, and Company, 1835. Softcover. Very Good. First edition. Octavo. 52pp. Removed from a nonce volume, a little trimmed slightly affecting the inscription, some offsetting on the title page, else very good. Inscribed: "Josiah Quincy Jr. E[sq.] with the respects of the author." Name of Charles F. Adams written on the title page in a non-authorial hand (possibly Quincy's). Quincy, a member of the Whig Party, was the second of three Josiah Quincys to serve as Mayor of Boston; Charles Francis Adams, Sr., the son of John Quincy Adams, was a lawyer (and a Whig, and then later a member of the Free Soil Party, and finally a Republican) who studied law with Daniel Webster, served in the House of Representatives, but resigned to become Lincoln's Ambassador to Great Britain from 1861 to 1868, where he, along with his son Henry Adams, who acted as his secretary, was instrumental in maintaining British neutrality and preventing British diplomatic recognition of the Confederacy during the American Civil War.
