[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.
