Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. "The Journal of William Maclay, United States Senator from Pennsylvania 1789 - 1781" was first published in 1890, and then reprinted in 1927. The edition here offered was published by Frederick Ungar in 1965 in the "American Classics Series". It is graced with an Introduction by the esteemed American historian, Charles A. Beard. The following is taken from what remains of the clipped dust-jacket |> William Maclay, a lawyer with a classical training, and Senator from Pennsylvania, 1789 to 1791, set down for posterity in his daily journal the issues debated, the procedures evolved, the precedents set and the bills passed which shaped the structure and became the very heart of our Federal government."The Journal of William Maclay", written as a private document, is to be treasured for its political value in supplementing the meager records of the first Congress, and providing historians with a vivid portrait of the scenes and personalities behind the closed Senate doors. It is important also for its social and literary value in recording the manners and customs of the day in a style which is, at once, elegant, flowing, and concise. Republished here in the "American Classics" series, it makes fascinating reading for both students of political history as well as the general reader. <| Said Charles A. Beard, in his Introduction : "[This is} a fascinating step-by-step account of the first U. S. Congress at work - [it is] one of the most precious human documents for the study of American manners, morals, and intelligence - political and general."

The dust-jacket is present only in clipped and preserved parts. The following particulars noted : EXTERIOR -- Spine extremities slightly compressed and with fraying just beginning to the bottom extremity (very small effect); fore-edge corner tips are mildly bumped, else exterior is bright and clean. Top edge of text-block partially faded, else edges are clean with only a bit of weathering (most noticeable near the spine on the bottom edge). BINDING -- Solid INTERIOR -- There is a brief gift inscription at the top of the front free end-paper, dated 1971 (In the picture we provide of this, we have blurred the names). The most noticeable imperfection in the book is the mark left on the title page by (I presume) a piece of tape - long ago removed. This mark has transferred in a small way to the frontispiece (very small), and to the verso of the title page. There is also a small smudge at the fore-edge of the title page. The rest of the interior is clean and free of marking. DUST-JACKET -- Exists only in three parts, neatly clipped and preserved, but no longer serving a purpose as a dust-jacket. Contains the blurb and brief author bio.

unbound. Condizione: very good. Important T.L.S., 4to. 1 page, Tryon, North Carolina, February 16, 1948, just months before his death, disagreeing with a colleague's dissertation, in part: ".Cycles belong to geometry and physics, not to historical knowledge and historical thinking. It has been introduced from physics, not to historical studies, but it does not correspond to the data of history. Your idea that in going forward we go back strikes me as utterly inapplicable to the facts of recorded history known to us from documents and memorials -- our only source of knowledge about them. In my opinion efforts to give any kind of "sense" or any general "sense" to universal history are futile. I doubt whether omniscience could do the job." *Beard's statement is quite astounding considering the fact that he was a staunch supporter of George Santayana's view that "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it". Fine condition. One of the most influential American historians of the first half of the 20th century.
