12mo, pp. xix, [v], 215, [1]. Contemporary calf, spine divided by raised bands. Some light foxing and soiling. Spine very rubbed (almost all gilt and label lost), boards somewhat marked and extremities also rubbed. Ownership inscription of Alexander Hamilton dated February 3th [sic] 1776 to flyleaf.
A scarce edition, with four copies in the UK outside the NLS, plus three in the USA and one each in Berlin and Melbourne. The ownership inscription in this copy is not in the hand of the American founding father, who at this time was in the Corsicans volunteer militia and soon to receive a commission to raise a company of artillery.
