Scarce 1784 edition of Hamilton’s bold work on the politics of war and peace, one of only two Philadelphia editions issued the same year as the New York first printing, issued under his pen name of “Phocion” in a fascinating reference to his own life by alluding to the Athenian soldier of “murky parentage” who came from another county and became the aid to a great general. Housed in custom chemise, half morocco slipcase. A Letter from Phocion, to the Considerate Citizens of NewYork, on the Politics of the Times, in Consequence of the Peace. “HAMILTON ALWAYS REACTED TO CONTROVERSY WITH STUBBORN GRIT… HE NEVER SHRANK FROM A GOOD FIGHT”: SCARCE 1784 EDITION OF LETTER FROM PHOCION, HAMILTON’S FIRST POST-REVOLUTIONARY WORK
