About This Item
Philadelphia: Lippincott, Grambo & Co, 1855. First edition. 1 vols. 12mo. Cloth, gilt stamped design of bald eagle with stars, stripes, and arrows on front cover. Spine ends chipped, backstrip faded, corners a little bumped, but still a sturdy copy. First edition. 1 vols. 12mo. An anonymous tract supporting the American "Know-Nothing" Party, and lamenting the influx of "foreign criminals and paupers." The author argues, as did the American Party, the "the sons of the soil should rule the soil." An interesting, typically colorful sample of mid-nineteenth century political writing.
