'Alexander Hamilton contributed to the framing of the US Constitution, its financial system, and its first political party. … [T]his set is a nice and well-organized collection … [which] will prove to be of great interest to political junkies or those who, having seen the hit Broadway show, have become fans of Hamilton.'
