Description: THE FEDERALIST, ON THE NEW CONSTITUTION. By Publius. Written in 1788 . . . Revised and Corrected. [Robert Young Hayne, his copy]. By Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay]; Publius, [pseud.] Published: New York: George F. Hopkins, 1802. VOL. I (of two) ONLY. 8vo. [Leaves 21 x 13 cm.] viii, 317 pages, plus [1]p. erratum. Several errors in pagination with numbers 167-168 and 263-270 repeated in the sequence, and p. [275] misnumbered 175. Removed from a contemporary binding with a portion of the leather spine intact, but the boards, endpapers, and blanks have all been lost. The title and final leaves are browned and creased. Small chips to the edges and gutter of the title, the corners of the first few leaves, the corner lower of the final leaf, and the margin of one other page, in no place affecting the text. Leaves are moderately toned with scattered foxing and stains, and a few marginal ink and pencil marks. Brief, early marginalia in the preface. An odd volume of this important work, and only in fair condition, but with a significant Southern provenance. Robert Young Hayne's copy with his signature (as "R.Y. Hayne"), dated 1823, on the title page. Hayne (1791-1839) served as U.S. Senator from South Carolina (1823-1832), governor of South Carolina (1832-1834), and mayor of Charleston (1835-1837). Along with John C. Calhoun and James Hamilton Jr., he was a leading proponent of states' rights. Hayne is most often remembered for his 1829-1830 debate with Daniel Webster in which he defended the doctrine of nullification, and he later served as chairman of South Carolina's Nullification Convention (1832). SECOND EDITION. This was the last edition published during Hamilton's lifetime and it was the first to identify Hamilton, Madison, and Jay as the authors (so noted in the preface). Sabin 23981.
