1305 Hamilton. Die Menschen und die Sitten in den vereinigten Staaten von Nordamerika. Nach der dritten englischen Auflage übersetzt von L. Hout, 2 vols. in 1, 8° Mannheim, 1834 1306 HAMILTON (ALEXANDER, Late Secretary of the Treasury) OBSERVATIONS on Certain Documents contained in No. V. & VI. of "The History of the United States for the year 1796," in which the charge of Speculation against Alexander Hamilton, late Secretary of the Treasury, is fully refuted. WRITTEN BY HIMSELF. Clean copy on a foul subject. 8° John Fenno, Philadelphia, 1797 "Written by himself," or this little book of 96 pages would most likely have been pronounced the greatest libel upon the greatest man New York ever produced. It has been claimed to the honor of his friends that they endeavored to suppress it. It was copyrighted, and never reprinted but once until recently, but scarce as it has become, it is now part of American literature. The author writes on p. 5: "Merely because I retained an opinion once common to me and the most influencial of those who opposed me, That the public debt ought to be provided for on the basis of the contract upon which it was created, I have been wickedly accused with wantonly increasing the public burthen many millions, in order to promote a stock-jobbing interest of myself and friends." Having been cleared from all these accusations by Committees of Congress composed mainly of his most intelligent and active enemies, he was finally charged with "a connection with one James Reynolds for purposes of improper pecuniary speculation." To extricate himself from this jimfiscal corner Mr. Hamilton wrote this book. Clear himself he did, most assuredly, of the charge, but in doing so it has been thought by some that he sawed off a leg to cure a corn. 'My real crime," confesses the late Secretary not without a blush," is an amorous connection with his [Reynolds] wife for a considerable time, with his privity and connivance." That was how he came to be the private banker of the husband of Mrs. Reynolds, "from whose conversation it was quickly apparent that other than pecuniary consolation would be acceptable," p. 18. Truth never appeared so naked as in these confessions of Alexander Hamilton.
