Thanks Steven,
Actually, there are no signatures inside except for Robert Boyd, as far as I know.
Brooklyn has a historical museum and Robert Boyd is in that museum. Alexander Hamilton and Kent were involved in the creation of the Federalist papers, a prelude to our constitution. Robert Boyd's son has some hand in there somehow also. His name was Samuel Boyd, and a set of Federalist papers were in his personal library. Every title page had his signature. He also was an attorney for Hamilton, and they together with a few other men, created the Saturday Evening Post.
So connection with Hamilton was strong.
It is hard to judge a value on an item without knowing all the facts, so forgive my rambling on.
