Additional Details



According to a House resolution of 2 March 1793, only 300 copies of this government reprinting of 7 of Hamilton's reports were printed under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, presumably to rectify mistakes in the original printings. The reports include those on public debt, loans and revenues. OCLC locates just one institutional copy. Ford, Bibliotheca Hamiltoniana 246; Evans 26343. <
