Book Description

Excerpt from The Political Theories of Alexander Hamilton Political science has developed in accordance with the needs and demands Of the times. As the course Of political philosophy is traced this fact stands out more and more prominently. Doctrines and theories have been laid down as each writer has felt impelled to find some defence for, or criticism of, existing conditions. Especially in vindicating the ideas of a revolution, or in establishing new forms of government, new ideals and new doctrines have been form ulated. The works in defense of the changes have con tained expositions of the principles on which the new gov ernments are founded.

Book Description

Excerpt from The Political Theories of Alexander Hamilton Alexander Hamilton, beyond most of his contemporaries, had clearly defined views regarding the nature of the state, government and laws. In their general outlines his ideas are well known. Until now, however, there has been no attempt to make an exhaustive analysis and logical statement of his theories. This the present essay seeks to do. Especial thanks are due to Dr. W. W. Willoughby, without whose kind and unfailing assistance this work would not have been possible. The references are to the works of Alexander Hamilton, edited by Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, N. Y., 1885. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description

America’s first treasury secretary and one of the three authors of the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton stands as one of the nation’s important early statesmen. Michael P. Federici places this Founding Father among the country’s original political philosophers as well. Hamilton remains something of an enigma. Conservatives and liberals both claim him, and in his writings one can find material to support the positions of either camp. Taking a balanced and objective approach, Federici sorts through the written and historical record to reveal Hamilton’s philosophy as the synthetic product of a well-read and pragmatic figure whose intellectual genealogy drew on Classical thinkers such as Cicero and Plutarch, Christian theologians, and Enlightenment philosophers, including Hume and Montesquieu. In evaluating the thought of this republican and would-be empire builder, Federici explains that the apparent contradictions found in the Federalist Papers and other examples of Hamilton’s writings reflect both his practical engagement with debates over the French Revolution, capital expansion, commercialism, and other large issues of his time, and his search for a balance between central authority and federalism in the embryonic American government. This book challenges the view of Hamilton as a monarchist and shows him instead to be a strong advocate of American constitutionalism. Devoted to the whole of Hamilton’s political writing, this accessible and teachable analysis makes clear the enormous influence Hamilton had on the development of American political and economic institutions and policies.

Book Description

Excerpt from The Works of Alexander Hamilton, Vol. 9 In behalf of Mr. Nicholas Cruger, (who, by reason of a very ill state of health, went from this to new-york, the 15th I have the pleasure to address you by the long-expected sloop Thunderbolt, Capt. William Newton, owned by Messrs. Jacob Walton, John Harris, and Nicholas Cruger, the latter of whom has written you fully concerning her destination, which I need not repeat. She has on board besides a parcel of lumber for yourself, sundry articles on account of her owners as per in closed bill of lading; and when you have disposed of them, you will please to credit each partner for one third of the proceeds. Mr. N. Cruger's proportion of this, and the balance of your account hitherto, will more than pay for his one third cost of her first cargo up; and for the other two, I shall endeavor to place value in your hands betimes. I only wish for a line from you to know what will best answer. Reports here represent matters in a very disagreeable light, with regard to the Guarda Costas, which are said to swarm upon the coast; but as you will be the best judge of what danger there might be, all is submitted to your prudent direction.

Book Description

Excerpt from The Works of Alexander Hamilton, Vol. 7: Comprising His Correspondence, and His Political and Official Writings, Exclusive of the Federalist, Civil and Military What right had mercator to suppose, that any thing more was intended, than simply to inform the public that besides a punctual payment of the interest on the debt, from the period at which measures were matured to begin that payment, a considerable sum of the Capital of the Debt has been extinguished, and that a further sum will be extinguished by a provision already made leaving them to this very natural inference, which will be drawn by every candid mind, that the government has been as attentive as circumstances would permit, at so early a period, to the extinguishment of the debt. But admitting mercator to be right in his suggestion of the object, it is presumed that a liberal construction of all circum stances Will justify the position, that the present government has reduced the debt of the former government, to the extent ex pressed in the documents which have been published. This will result, if it shall appear that provision was made for the interest, as early as was reasonably practicable. To have paid the interest from that period, and to have sunk so much of the capital in addition, is, in fair construction, to have reduced the debt to the extent of the capital sunk. When Mercator undertook to suppose an object, which was not declared, he ought to have taken care to be better informed and more accurate. When he undertook to state an account with the Treasury Department, he ought not only to have selected just items, to have adverted to dates, times and possibilities, but he ought to have stated the whole account.
