Description
Josiah Quincy. AN ORATION, PRONOUNCED, JULY 4, 1798...IN COMMEMORATION OF THE ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. Boston: John Russell, 1798. First edition. 31, [1 blank] pp, with the half title [which is browned]. Bound in 20th century quarter cloth and marbled boards. Occasional light foxing, blank corner torn from one leaf. Very Good.The spirit of tyranny, despite the glorious American Revolution, is again loose in the world. "Exchange Britain for France," and the "despotic design" is identical. The Jeffersonians do not escape Quincy's ire, for they are the authors of the "disgusting calumnies and falsehoods, which have been propagated concerning our best and most virtuous citizens; our clergy...the present head of our nation; or shall I point you, to that injured hero, who, like the departing sun, looks through the shades of Mount Vernon?"
