MEMOIR OF GENERAL SCOTT, FROM RECORDS COTEMPORANEOUS WITH THE EVENTS.

Washington: C. Alexander, 1852. 32pp, disbound. Upper margin trimmed closely, shaving some page numerals and just touching "(Please Read and Circulate") at the head of the title. Printed in two columns per page. Good+.

A hatchet job on Scott, Franklin Pierce's Whig opponent in the 1852 presidential election. Scott's "egotism has grown great like Aaron's serpent." His recently published autobiography, "in which he every where struts the chief," is mere "electioneering." His military career, and history of "envy and hostility" to superior officers, including Andrew Jackson, are explored in nasty detail.
