First edition. Washington: Gales and Seaton, 1835. Hardcover rebound in full red morocco with brown spine, 5.5 x 8.75, 94 pages. Signed and inscribed on a slip tipped to the title page in ink, "David Spangler, from John Quincy Adams." A collector's pencil notation on the last page states that Adams was out of the country when this booklet was published, so he pre-inscribed slips for the printer to tip in and present to his friends. Autographic condition: fine, with some light staining. Book condition: VG/None.
