Washington D. C.: Printed by and for the Editor, 1936. The title continues: Together with the journal of the Federal convention, Luther Martin's letter, Yates's minutes, Congressional opinions, Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of '98-'99, and other illustrations of the Constitution. Complete in 4 volumes. This is the scarce 2nd edition, which includes a significant amount of additional material that was not include in the first edition published between 1827 and 1830. Still the standard reference for anyone researching the founding documents for the United States. Generally in about very good condition, though missing the title and volume number patches for volume 2. In volume 1 (only) there is a scraper across the upper left corner of the textblock that has affected that portion of the blank margin in about half the pages. Please examine the attached photos--the damage is minor and affects none of the text. All pages remain quite supple.. Second Edition. Hardcover. About Very Good. Octavo. Book.
