Jackson, Andrew

Message from the President of the United States to the Two Houses of Congress, at the Commencement of the First Session of the Twenty-Fourth Congress. December 8, 1835. Printed by Order of the Senate of the United States

Washington [D.C.], Printed by Gales & Seaton, 1835. First edition. Disbound. 29 pp. 8vo. Jackson's unusually long address was mostly directed at France for its refusal to make payments of indemnity owed from the Napoleonic wars and to defend his earlier harsh words: ""The conception that it was my intention to menace or insult the Government of France is as unfounded as the attempt to extort from the fears of that nation what her sense of justice may deny would be vain and ridiculous." Copy of H[enry] D[ilworth] Gilpin (April 14, 1801 - January 29, 1860) U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and later the 14th Attorney General of the United States. Removed from a lager volume, else about very good owner's name on title, scattered foxing.
