Albert Gallatin Sketch of the Finances of the US
<B>Albert Gallatin:<I> A Sketch of the Finances of the United States.</B></I></B></I> (New York: William A. Davis, 1796), first edition, 205 pages, Howes G-29, four folding tables, 8vo (5.5" x 8.75"), original covers missing, pages tatty along edges, moderate foxing, else complete and in good condition. This is a refreshing look at the state of the American economy when debt was measured in only millions and not trillions by who later became Thomas Jefferson's Secretary of State. Though the condition is wanting, few copies of this report in its original form have survived.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
