16pp. Disbound and moderately foxed, Good+. This is the scarce Suffield imprint of Paine's Oration, printed after the Boston edition of the same year. Unlike the more famous Thomas Paine, Robert Treat was a dedicated Federalist, Anglophile, and Francophobe. Here he predictably denounces "Gallic perfidy," as America's quasi-war with France heated up. Evans 36031. Trumbull 1217. NAIP w021573 [6].

30pp. Modern paper boards. Early inscription at head of titlepage. A very good copy. A speech composed by Robert Treat Paine, Jr., who in 1799 was still using his given name of "Thomas Paine." Robert Treat Paine, Jr., an ardent Federalist, legally changed his name from Thomas Paine in 1801, "to avoid mistaken identification with the 'infidel' author of the AGE OF REASON" (quoted in ANB). The speech was delivered to the Young Men of Boston one year into the Quasi-War with France. On July 7, 1798, Congress dissolved treaties with France in response to the continuing depredations against American vessels by French privateers. Paine declares that while the "FOURTH OF JULY will be celebrated by our latest posterity as the splendid æra of our national glory.the SEVENTH will be venerated as the dignified epoch of our American character. The one annihilated our colonial submission to a powerful, avowed and determined foe; - the other emancipated us from the oppressive friendship of an ambitious, malignant, treacherous ally" (p.6). Page five features an early vignette of the Stars and Stripes surrounding the Great Seal. The present issue includes the errata note on page 30. A fine representation of Federalist anti-Gallic sentiment at the height of the Quasi-War with France. EVANS 36030. SABIN 58200. ANB 16, pp.923-925.

First Edition. Pamphlet, square 4to, includes half title, dbd, uncut, 32 pp. Early presentation inscription on half title, some soiling, browning and aging throughout; otherwise very good. Paine (1773-1811) was born Thomas Paine, the son of Robert Treat Paine Sr., statesman and signer of the Declaration of Independence. In 1801, he changed his name to Robert Treat, and according to some, he did this to avoid confusion with his father. A poet and lawyer, he was he was a gifted writter, and never pulled his punches. At the age of 12 he attacked his own father in a scathing poem, which resulted in a lifelong division between the two. His poetry would gain considerable attention with his contemporaries, and he even became active in the Boston Theatre. The present title, his Harvard Phi Beta Kappa Poem of 1797, was considered by his friends as his best poem. While he had considerable popularity in his time, a lifestyle of excessive drinking and dissolute living took their toll. In ill health, he returned to his father's house, and died in an attic room.
