The first edition was privately printed earlier in the same year for distribution among Hamilton’s political friends in the
hope of giving Thomas Pinckney a majority over Adams. Aaron Burr obtained a copy and extracts were published in the Republican
press, after which Hamilton gave the copyright to John Lang. The pamphlet contains numerous references to Jefferson, concerning
whom the author states on page 9, 10:
It is, in particular, a tribute due from me, to acknowledge that Mr. Adams, being in quality of Vice-President, ex officio,
one of the Trustees of the Sinking-Fund, I experienced from him the most complete support, which was the more gratifying to
me, as I had to struggle against the systematic opposition of Mr. Jeferson, seconded occasionally by Mr. Randolph.
