HAMILTON, Alexander. Letter from Alexander Hamilton, Concerning the Public Conduct and Character of John Adams esq., President of the United States . [Philadelphia:] New-York: Printed [by William Duane] for John Lang by George F. Hopkins, 1800. Re-printed pro bono publico. [ Bound with :] An Answer to Alexander Hamilton's Letter Concerning the Public Conduct and Character of John Adams Esq... By A Citizen of New York [Chulham, James]. New York: Printed by P. R. Johnson & J. Stryker, 1800. 8 o, modern blue half morocco. A later edition of Hamilton's savage attack on President John Adams "an extended tantrum in print," reissued with relish by the Philadelphia Jeffersonian William Duane. "In writing an intemperate indictment of John Adams Hamilton committed a form of political suicide that blighted the rest of his career" (Chernow, 623, 619). An embittered Hamilton not only attacks administration policies, but paints a picture of an unstable, almost insane President. Friends within the Cabinet had fed Hamilton tales of Adams's violent outbursts and loss of self-control. Duane happily observed that Hamilton's election-year tirade had done more to undermine public faith in the Federalists than all of his previous newspaper attacks combined. Evans 37570; Howes 116.
