History Of The Formation Of The Constitution Of The United States Of America: Volume I of II - Tapa blanda

This volume (I of II) is a republish of the SIXTH EDITION published in 1889 which incorporates all inaccuracies or additional information discovered by Mr. Bancroft since the FIRST EDITION was published in 1882. We have attempted to accurately duplicate the original publisher’s format, language, phrasing and spelling. However, differences in older linotype layup and newer word processing formatting made an exact duplication in publishing next to impossible to accomplish. The two historical periods involved, the late eighteenth century when most of the quotes and letters were written, and the middle nineteenth century when the original author’s narrative text of this volume was written, the phraseology and spelling were sometimes different. We have also been careful to accurately reproduce each and every character of the original interior text. The cover was designed to reflect modern paperback standards. We also added the watermark text in all original blank pages. The page count and sequence has been left unchanged.
