Description: Boston, Printed by Young & Minns, 1802. First edition. Disbound. 32 pp. Folio. Includes Caleb Strong's message attacking partisanship: "There is no evil to which free governments are more exposed, than the prevalence of party spirit. The extreme violence of this spirit degrades the character of a nation, and vitiates the morals of the people; it has proved fatal to almost every other Republick, either by enabling a successful Chief to establish his empire on its ruins or by weaning its ability to oppose foreign invasion; it tends to pervert the judgment as well as corrupt the heart, and renders the subjects of it, unspcial and intolerant." Shaw & Shoemaker 2627. Title page browned, torn, a few interior tears, edges creased and ragged, but still a good untrimmed copy.
