Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Rare second English edition, "the bestÂEnglishÂedition" (Howes), of the Constitutions of the thirteen newly independent American states, published only one year after the first English edition, with early printings of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and important U.S.-French treaties. Preceded by the 1781 American edition of only 200 copies and the 1782 first English edition, neither of which included the Declaration of Rights, the Petition to the King, the Non-Importation Agreement, or the Dutch treaty. Royal octavo, bound in one quarter contemporary calf over marbled boards, morocco spine label lettered in gilt, gilt ruling to the spine in six compartments within raised bands. Without portrait ofÂWashington; ListÂofÂtheÂPresidentsÂofÂtheÂAmerican Congress, and 3 ppÂof ads at rear. Howes C-716; Sabin 16088. In very good condition. Scattered toning and some underlining and marginalia. Ownership name to the title page. AnÂimportant cornerstone of American constitutional history. This rare second English edition of The Constitutions of the Several Independent States of America contains early printings of the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation, as well as the Declaration of Rights (a forerunner to the Declaration) and the Non-Importation Agreement, Congressâs response to taxation without representation. Also included are the 1778 Treaty of Amity and Commerce with France, the Treaty of Alliance with France, and the Provisional Articles of Peace signed by the United States and Great Britain in November 1782, whichâ"with only minor revisionsâ"became the definitive peace treaty the following year. The volume further features one of the earliest English printings of the important 1782 treaty between the United States and the Dutch Republic, the first concluded with a nation other than France, as well as the final Petition of Congress to the King, delivered in London by Richard Penn. Shortly after publication of the earlier 1782 edition, The Monthly Review described the work as âthe book which may be considered the Magna Carta of the United American States.â.
