Observations on Certain Documents in the History of the United States for the

Description: This book rebuts allegations of financial profiteering against Alexander Hamilton, the first US Treasury Secretary, by publishing his own account of the charges made against him, along with a collection of supporting documents. The accusations stem from Hamilton's admitted affair with Maria Reynolds, whose husband attempted to extort money from Hamilton using the illicit relationship as leverage. Hamilton maintained that his payments to Reynolds were to silence him about the affair, not to profit from insider financial information. The documents in this book include letters from Hamilton to Maria Reynolds, as well as letters from Reynolds to Hamilton and other individuals involved in the scandal. The author's detailed account and supporting materials provide a valuable historical perspective on the charges against Hamilton and the political climate of the time.
