The Great Rehearsal
New York: Viking Press, 1948. Book of the Month Club. hardcover. 8vo 336pp. BOMC edition. from front flap: "The great story of how the United States became a nation, known at first hand only to Washington and Madison, to Franklin and Hamilton, and to the others who shared their conclaves, has reposed only in a bare official record and in the scattered notes and diaries kept by a few of the conferees. These came out piecemeal over the following dozen decades and have never been made freely available except in scholarly publications. Carl Van Doren has made from these shreds of fact a full tapestry of history." Book VG: age wear to top of boards, mild toning, text clean, binding tight. / DJ G: age toning, chipping, NOT clipped.
