TYRANNY UNMASKED. by Taylor, John - 1822

Wash. City,: Davis, 1822. First Edition. 349pp. Modern marbled boards with gold stamped leather spine. Taylor is considered one of the premier early systematic theorists of states' rights. This is the third of four full-scale books written by him and published between 1814 and 1823, in which he develops his theory of the U.S. Constitution and discusses its effect on social policies, particularly taxation, banking, and tariffs. In this work he treats mainly protectionism, with a good deal of discussion on the currency as well. HOWES T65. SABIN 94495. COHEN 6334.
