The 24 lessons, described in the letterpress text, are illustrated in the 11 engraved plates demonstrating the component strokes, instructions for composing letters…

Descripción:
Washington, [D.C.]: Printed by Gales & Seaton, 1819. First edition. 6, [2 blanks] pp. Untrimmed, top edge uncut; light foxing and dusting The first petition for Missouri statehood adopted by the Missouri territorial legislature and presented to the House by Missouri delegate John Scott. It lit the fuse of sectional conflict between the North and South over the westward expansion of slavery that would only temporarily cool with the Missouri Compromise of 1820, smoldering until its ultimate eruption in the Civil War. The memorial argues for statehood on the grounds that the Missouri Territory, with some 100,000 inhabitants, was too large for effective political administration. The proposed boundaries, about 30% larger than what was ultimately adopted, include the 36'30" boundary that would establish the line between future free and slave states in the Missouri Compromise of 1820.The Memorial is signed in type by David Barton, Speaker of the Missouri House, Benjamin Emmons, President of the…
