'MODERN GRATITUDE'.
Baltimore: Prentiss & Cole, 1802. 3/4 cloth, Duodecimo, 53 pages. Near Fine.
          Keene (a Democrat) had wooed and wed Martin's (a Federalist) 
15 year old daughter. Martin had printed and distributed an absolutely 
scathing attack on the couple as a result. This is Keene's able 
response. This is the stuff of daytime television, 200 years earlier and 
stated with eloquence. Baltimore imprint. SABIN #37155. Bound in modern 
marbled boards with dark brown cloth fore corners and spine, gilt title 
to spine, grey endpapers. Textblock is lightly browned, some mild 
chipping along fore edges, an occasional short tear expertly repaired
