About This Item
New York: James Webster, Publishing Agent, 1842. Contemporary cloth, stamped in blind, with gilt-lettered morocco spine label. viii, 376 pp. The entire Volume I, consisting of twelve numbers [November 1841 - October 1842], printed in two columns per page. Scattered browning and widely scattered foxing. One gathering [pages 81-88] repeated. Very Good.
A year-long [November 1841 - October 1842] Democratic attack on the Whigs, linking them with the old Federalist Party which opposed the War of 1812, sought to secede at the Hartford Convention, and consistently advanced the interests of the Aristocracy and Monopolists over those of the Common Man. Its Jacksonian motto is, 'Equal Rights and Privileges Are All the People Ask For.'
In addition to discussing contemporary issues dividing Whigs and Democrats, the Guide prints essays on the Articles of Confederation, Patrick Henry, the Constitution, and thoughts of the Founders, all designed to buttress Democratic philosophy and skewer the Whigs.
Lomazow 416. Sabin 60821. Not in Mott. OCLC 945087515 [1- Clements] as of May 2023.
