wiki: Alexander Hamilton
(1755 or 1757 – 1804) was an American statesman, politician, legal scholar, military commander, lawyer, banker, and economist. He was one of
the
Founding Fathers of the United States.
He was an influential interpreter and promoter of the U.S. Constitution, as well as the founder of the nation's financial system, the Federalist Party, the United States Coast Guard, and the New York Post newspaper. As the
first Secretary of the Treasury,
Hamilton was the main author of the economic policies of George Washington's administration.
He took the lead in the Federal government's funding of the states' debts, as well as establishing a national bank,
a system of tariffs, and friendly trade relations with Britain. His vision included a strong central government led by a vigorous executive branch, a strong commercial economy, a national bank and support for manufacturing, and a strong military.
Thomas Jefferson was his leading opponent, arguing for agrarianism and smaller government.
Hamilton was born out of wedlock and
orphaned as a child. Later taken in by a prosperous merchant. When he reached his teens, he was sent to New York to pursue his education. He took an early role in the militia as the American Revolutionary War
began. In 1777, he became a senior
aide to General Washington
in running the
new Continental Army. After the war, he was elected as a representative from New York to the Congress of the Confederation. He resigned to practice law and founded the Bank of New York.

for understanding  --
and remember -
this book is very old and
may have accumulated bad smells along the way [musty basement/ mildew/ smoke]
- I have found that
dryer sheets in them for a few months makes a world of difference!
some of my books get sold right away so
please consider using this trick before deciding to return it!
My nose doesn't work like it use to
so the old book smell doesn't bother me.
As far as I can tell -these books smell fine
