Description: Book Description: J. H. Powell, The Books of a New Nation: United States Government Publications, 1774-1814. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1956, 170 indexed pages. 5 ½ ” x 8 ¼”. First Edition. Original dust jacket with price intact. Tight binding and clean pages throughout. Very good to near fine condition. From the jacket blurb: “United States Government publications are books collectors have not sought, bibliographers have not analyzed, historians have rarely considered. But publication is a necessary part of law-making and law-enforcing, and as the historian J. H. Powell traces national printing through its first forty years (until the British fired the Capital in 1814) these dry-as-dust public documents become vivid, exciting elements in the lively story of how a new nation was built.”
