Author: Braman, Milton P.
Title: The Mexican War. A Discourse Delivered on the Annual Fast, 1847
Description: Danvers [MA], Printed at the Courier Office, 1847. First edition. New plain paper wrappers. 36 pp. 8vo. One of the few antiwar tracts that presents cogent arguments rather than hysteria. In the light of recent U.S. history, some of Braman's words have a familiar ring to them: "every war..furnishes the President with a power which under various pretenses, and for various reasons he has peculiar opportunities for abusing" (p. 30). The author viewed the war as territorial aggrandizement on the part of the U.S. and asked (p. 9) "what will [Mexico] do with her increasing population, if we dismember her territory to enlarge our own?" Sabin 7369. Tutorow 3201. A very good clean copy with faint foxing on title.
