[ROOSEVELT, Franklin Delano] SULLIVAN, Hon. William. THE PUBLIC MEN OF 
THE REVOLUTION: INCLUDING EVENTS FROM THE PEACE OF 1783 TO THE PEACE OF 
1815. IN A SERIES OF LETTERS. Philadelphia: Carey and Hart, 1847. First 
Edition. Original blindstamped brown cloth. Illustrated with a 
frontispiece portrait of the author. First published in 1834, this is an 
enlarged edition with a biographical sketch of the author by his son. 
Howes S-1130; Sabin 93559: "An attack on Thomas Jefferson and a defense 
of the Federalist party." Franklin Delano Roosevelt's copy with his bold 
SIGNATURE "Franklin D. Roosevelt/Hyde Park" on the front endpaper along 
with the notation "Very fine copy."

Roosevelt was sympathetic toward Jefferson, identifying with him as a 
leader who brought the government back into the hands of the people and 
who fashioned a government that served the best interests of the people 
rather than the interests of the privileged. On the pastedown opposite 
Roosevelt's signature is a pencil inscription by the former owner, A. 
Boyd Hamilton, State Printer of Pennsylvania in the mid-nineteenth 
century, dated 1887 presenting the book to his son. Hamilton's signature 
dated 1847 is also on the title page in ink. A fine example of a book 
from FDR's library with distinctly American content including much on 
George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Some chipping to the head of the 
spine. Near Fine. (#013345)        $3,000.00
