Book Description
"This handsome edition of Fisher Ames's work is essential reading for all students of the early American republic."--Journal of the Early RepublicFisher Ames was a leading New England Federalist and sublime critic of Jacobin Democracy and the French Revolution. During the presidency of George Washington, he was the leader of his party in the House of Representatives. Ames was active in public life from 1787 through 1807 and was instrumental in one drafting of the First Amendment to the Constitution. His witty, often brilliant, letters, speeches, and essays offered a sustained defense of conservative principles and insight into the Federalist theory of government.This enlarged edition includes many speeches and writings by Ames that were omitted from the original edition of Ames's works published in 1854.

Not illustrated. 1854 edition. Excerpt: ... LETTERS. TO GEORGE RICHARDS MINOT,1 BOSTON. New York, March 25th, 1789. Dear Sir, --This morning we have twenty-six representatives; and as thirty are necessary to make a quorum, we are still in a state of inaction. This is a very mortifying situation. Mr. Coles, of Virginia, is at Philadelphia, detained by a slight indisposition, but is to set off to-day. Two members will be here from Jersey this evening, and if Messrs. Fitzsimmons and Clymer of Philadelphia come in, as we expect, we shall make an house on Friday. Mr. Elmer is expected to join the Senate this evening, which will make the Senate eleven strong. Therefore, we cannot hope for a Congress of both houses this week. I am inclined to believe that the languor of the old Confederation is transfused into the members of the new Congress. This city has not caught the spirit, or rather the want of spirit, I am vexing myself to express to you. Their hall will cost 20,000 York money. They are preparing fireworks, and a splendid barge for the President, which last will cost 200 or 300.1 1 Mr. Minot and Mr. Ames were fellow-students, and intimate friends. They were admitted to the bar together, in Boston, in November, 1781. Sir. Minot soon became eminent in his profession, and received many tokens of the public confidence. Their written correspondence appears to have ceased, at the termination of Mr. Ames's service in Congress; probably because they had frequent and more direct personal intercourse. Their friendship continued uninterrupted until Mr. Minot's death, which took place in 1802. This State is snarling about elections. But Massachusetts distances all the world. How will it be decided there Write me. How can you preserve such an obstinate silence If you knew...
