Thomas Dale of Shields [ South Shields ] [ Charles Wren of Newcastle upon Tyne; the Eden Treaty, 1786 ]:Biblio.com

The 'Bottle Trade' in eighteenth century England. Autograph Letter Signed 'Thos Dale' from Thomas Dale of Shields South Shields to Charles Wren of Newcastle-upon-Tyne regarding the 'Bottle Trade' the Eden Treaty and the 'Shields Houses'

19674Shields South Shields Northumberland . 27 February no year circa 1786 . 4pp. 4to. In fair condition on aged and worn paper. An excellent letter on an unusual subject written in forthright style. The author – who like the recipient is a member of the local mercantile community – gets down to business immediately: 'Sir The late great demand for Bottles in England was the effect of Mr Pits sic commercial Treaty with France. A Bottle in France costs the Manufacturer nearly double to what an english Bottle costs one reason of which is the French have no other fuel than Newcastle Coals One Keel of Coal at Rochelle stands to twenty five Pounds; in the river Tyne one Keel stands the Bottle Manufacturer to about four Pounds.' He proceeds to discuss excise duty English beer imported into France merchants. He poses the question: 'should no infringement be made on this Treaty will the Bottle Trade continue to flourish and be a desirable object of speculation I answer the profit which the English manufacturer now enjoys will gradually diminish though even the French treaty should be protracted a Century. Glass Houses will be multiplied in England & the loud clamour for Bottles will cease'. He recalls that sixteen years previously when 'unfortunately for myself' he became 'Wilsons private agent in London an Order for Bottles was obtained with great difficulty & much expense and tedious application did I use to conciliate the Friendship of Janson who was always deem'd a very eligible Customer I at last succeeded & fix'd him totally to the Shields Houses. Mr Wilson paid me with very liberal promises & Mr Deer without your interference will soon lose the valuable Customer I gain'd'. He presumes that the bottle trade 'will be slack this summer but flourish again on the approach of Winter.' He describes the 'vast local advantage' of the 'Shields Houses' as against the 'higher Houses'. He claims there are 'many enormous abuses' citing the fact that 'Mr Deer claims a Salary for no other reason that I know of than because he is Mr Deer.' He claims that Wilson has only ever paid Deer 'to make him hold his Tongue': 'if Mr Deer can produce any Book that he has kept for seven years back or prove any good that he has done by advice &c he may lay claim to his Salary. I will declare Wilsons Sentiments upon my honour or if required sanction my declaration by a legal oath'. Shields [ South Shields, Northumberland ]. 27 February [ no year, circa 1786 ]. unknown

Monitoring Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear-Explosive Materials; An Assessment of Methods and Capabilities

200573665Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2005. Presumed First Edition First printing. Trade paperback. Very good. xv 1 250 pages. Footnotes. Illustrations figures tables and boxes. Acronyms. Biographical Sketches of Committee Members. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Among the members were: John Steinbruner Susan Eisenhower Richard Garwin Rose Gottemoeller Spurgeon Keeney Albert Narath and Wolfgang Panofsky. In the United States and many other countries policy-makers are working to minimize the proliferation of nuclear weapons prevent terrorists from acquiring them and reduce the risks posed by existing nuclear arsenals. A new report from the National Academy of Sciences addresses the technical and institutional approaches and capabilities in transparency and monitoring that could be applied to any or all of these goals. The report does not analyze or make recommendations about the choices in U.S. nuclear weapon and nonproliferation policies or priorities that will continue to shape the context within which such approaches and capabilities might be applied. Save Cancel Bottom of Form 1 dressed not only nuclear issues but also those connected with chemical and biological weapons space weaponry and national missile defense and conventional forces and the arms trade. The year 2005 marked the 25th anniversary of the creation of the Committee on International Security and Arms CISAC by the National Academy of Sciences NAS. CISAC was formed at a time when the risks to the world from nuclear weapons seemed to be increasing. During a time of extraordinary tensions in U.S.-Soviet relations CISAC provided a nongovernmental channel of communication between Soviet and American scientists as a vehicle for exploring ways to reduce nuclear dangers. For several years the private off-the-record dialogue between CISAC and its Soviet counterpart group was one of the few links through which well-informed policy-connected individuals on the two sides could interact to pursue solutions to key technical problems related to nuclear arms control. Even after formal U.S.-Soviet arms control negotiations resumed the CISAC-initiated dialogues continued to be invaluable offering a vehicle for "back channel" discussions that were both less constrained and more analytical than those being pursued officially. In the 25 years since it was founded CISAC has broadened its efforts to include: bilateral dialogues and related workshops with similarly constituted groups in China and India; bilateral and multilateral meetings with European academies; the conduct of major studies of security and arms control problems and policies; the instigation of additional studies by specially constituted panels within the National Academies; and the organization of symposia and workshops to inform Academy members the wider technical community and the public at large about key issues at the intersection of science and technology with international security.
