Title: Inventing America: Jefferson's Declaration of Independence
Description: Garden City, Doubleday & Company, 1978. Hardcover. 8vo. Quarter red cloth with gilt spine lettering and blue paper over boards, price-clipped dust jacket. xxvi, 398pp. Near fine/near fine. Tight and lovely later printing of the journalist and political philosopher's musings -- with a nice twist: Front flyleaf bears an interesting if unidentifiable nonauthorial gift inscription in black ballpoint on front flyleaf: "To Adlai, / One of the few / remaining Jeffersonian / Democrats. / Carlos / July 4, 1980." Adlai E. Stevenson III (1930-2021) served as U.S. senator from Illinois (1970-81) -- but the identity of "Carlos," likely a member of his staff, remains elusive. .
