In The Quartet, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Joseph Ellis tells the unexpected story of America's second great founding and of the men most responsible--Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, John Jay, and James Madison: why the thirteen colonies, having just fought off the imposition of a distant centralized governing power, would decide to subordinate themselves anew. These men, with the help of Robert Morris and Gouverneur Morris, shaped the contours of American history by diagnosing the systemic dysfunctions created by the Articles of Confederation, manipulating the political process to force the calling of the Constitutional Convention, conspiring to set the agenda in Philadelphia, orchestrating the debate in the state ratifying conventions, and, finally, drafting the Bill of Rights to assure state compliance with the constitutional settlement, created the new republic. Ellis gives us a dramatic portrait of one of the most crucial and misconstrued periods in American history: the years between the end of the Revolution and the formation of the federal government.

The Quartet
unmasks a myth, and in its place presents an even more compelling truth--one that lies at the heart of understanding the creation of the United States of America.

Great suit for the price
Size: Large, Color: Royal Blue, Size: Large, Color: Royal Blue
This suit fits pretty well for non-custom cut. The vest and jacket fit almost perfectly. When all buttoned up, there's a slight bulge, but not too noticeable. The pants could use some tailoring. They don't look as slim as I'd hoped. The cut and fabric are a great value, considering the price. This classic blue, with a slight sheen, will be a great suit to wear to parties and the symphony this holiday season.

Elegant & Comfortable
It's a beautiful three-piece set with a stunning design and fabric quality. The vest and jacket are comfortable and elegantly complement each other, and the vest is easy to adjust to fit your frame as long as you don't get a size too small. Additionally, the pants are of such high quality that they easily make for a great pair of pants outside of pairing with the suit.

Really nice suit.
Great suit. Fits well. I had to have the button on the jacket moved but other than that it fits well. Can adjust the vest. Decent material, light wait but not cheap. All the stitching is nice. Was a good length and pants fit well.
