Genesis of the Constitution of the United States of America by Breckinridge Long, published by The Macmillan Company in 1926. This historical hardback volume explores the origins and development of the U.S. Constitution, covering topics from the Plymouth Covenant and early colonial instruments to the Federal Constitutional Convention of 1787. The book features a blue cloth-bound cover with gold-tone lettering on the spine. It includes a handwritten inscription on the front flyleaf noting that the author, Breckinridge Long, later served as the Ambassador to Italy. The interior pages show age-appropriate toning, and the title page has a small red octagonal stamp or sticker remnant. A valuable addition for collectors of American political history and constitutional law.
