''The Texas Question'' Everett
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Rare copy of ''The Texas Question: A Letter from Alexander H. Everett'' from ''The United States Magazine and Democratic Review,'' Volume 15, Number 75, September 1844. Octavo periodical runs 320pp. Everett's 20pp. essay addresses three primary objections to annexation: the ''want of Constitutional power'' to acquire Texas; respect for ''the supposed rights of Mexico''; and ''the great and difficult question of slavery.'' A fair copy, sans covers. Binding remains tight and text clean. An excellent example of annexation rhetoric.
