Philadelphia: Printed for John Fenno, by John Bioren, 1797 First edition. A very good unsophisticated copy -- rather rare as many copies were bought up by the Hamilton family in an effort to suppress it. The notorious "Reynolds pamphlet." in which Hamilton reveals: "The charge against me is a connection with one James Reynolds for purposes of improper pecuniary speculation. My real crime is an amorous connection with his wife for a considerable time, with his privity and connivance." First printed in 1979, but quickly suppressed by Hamilton's own mortified family who tried to buy up all copies. In 1800, in the midst of the Jefferson-burr election, anti-Federalists such as William Duane reprinted Hamilton's admission of infidelity. --Evans 37571; Howes H-120; Sabin 29970.…

37, lviii pp. 1 vols. 8vo. First edition. First edition. 37, lviii pp. 1 vols. 8vo. The first edition of the infamous "Reynolds pamphlet," in which Hamilton describes his affair with Maria Reynolds and admits to paying off a blackmailer. In the pamphlet, Hamilton takes the extraordinary step of admitting to adultery in order to clear his name of financial scandal. While successful in its purpose, it destroyed any hope of a political career on the national stage, and provided salacious ammunition for his enemies. A second edition, printed in 1800, was published by Hamilton's opponents to keep the scandal alive in the election of 1800, after the Hamilton family had purchased and destroyed most of the original edition.

Housed in a custom half calf clamshell box. Alexander Hamilton resigned as Secretary of the Treasury in 1795; two years later "a baseless accusation against his honesty as secretary of the treasury, brought by Monroe and others, forced him to make public confession of his intrigue some years previous with a Mrs. Reynolds ⦠[his confession] had the merit of a proud bravery, for it showed him willing to endure any personal humiliation rather than a slur on his public integrity" (DAB). Mrs. Hamilton tried to buy up all copies of the 1797 pamphlet, but some escaped. In 1800, in the midst of the Jefferson-burr election, anti-Federalists such as William Duane reprinted Hamilton's admission of infidelity.…
