THE PROCEEDINGS OF TWO MEETINGS, HELD IN BOSTON, ON THE 7TH AND 14TH JULY, TO PROTEST AGAINST THE NOMINATION OF GEN. SCOTT, FOR THE PRESIDENCY, AND TO RECOMMEND HON. DANIEL WEBSTER FOR THAT OFFICE

  • Boston: Prentiss & Sawyer, 1852
By [Webster, Daniel]
Boston: Prentiss & Sawyer, 1852. 24pp, original printed wrappers. Very Good.

Disaffected Massachusetts Whigs can't stomach Scott, a war hero with nothing to recommend him for the Presidency, or Pierce, the Democrat. Unfortunately, Webster was dead three months after these meetings, so their choice wasn't so good either.
FIRST EDITION. Sabin 6548, 78422.
