[Boston?, 1811. Caption title [as issued], stitched. 15, [1 blank] pp. Untrimmed, scattered foxing. An entirely unsophisticated copy. Very Good.

A Federalist lawyer and Congressman from Massachusetts, Bigelow arraigns the Jefferson and Madison administrations for profligate spending, "incredible" tilting toward France despite President Washington's "system of Neutrality," encouraging libelers like Callender and Duane, and rampant patronage. He documents each charge in detail, demonstrating the unfitness of the Virginia Dynasty for the presidency.
