What is the oldest book in your collection?
Among the oldest items in the Library’s holdings is a first edition of Secretary Albert Gallatin’s A Sketch of the Finances of the United States published in 1796. Our copy is extra special because it was the book Secretary Gallatin gave to Secretary Hamilton. How do we know this bit of history? This letter from 1960 documents the book’s provenance.
