Oblong document on vellum upper edge scallopped 143 x 214 mm. recto with letterpress form accomplished in manuscript in brown ink slightly faded but legible one passage erased large woodcut armorial initial and 2 pence duty mark strip of three blue sixpence stamps red wax seal paper stamp on verso. Slight soiling to corners and part of top edge.<br /> <br /> A bookseller joins the toy trade: Robert Shaw son of the Lichfield bookseller of the same name agrees to an apprenticeship of seven years during which he promises to serve his master keep his secrets to not waste or lend his Goods; and “Taverns Inns or Ale-houses he shall not haunt At Cards Dice Tables or any other unlawful Game he shall not playâ€. For this the toymaker Richard Robinson agrees to pay 5 pounds into the public charity pledges to feed and lodge his new Apprentice and added in manuscript promises his father Robert Shaw Sr. “to fund and provide for his said Son wearing apparell of all sorts as well Linens as Woolens during the said term.â€<br /> <br /> Lichfield Staffordshire was the childhood home of Samuel Johnson 1709-1784 whose father Michael Johnson was also a bookseller; as a boy Johnson sometmes bound books for his father to help earn money. Contemplation of the latter’s debt-ridden career may throw light on the motives of his colleague Shaw Sr. in sending his son out to learn another profession. <br /> <br /> A bookseller Robert Shaw is known from archival sources including a payment to him in 1737 by Lichfield Cathedral for lettering books in the library cf. Peter Hanks The Bookbinder and Historical Invisibility: Bookbinding and the Staffordshire book trade 1750-1850 thesis University of Wolverhampton 2024. Booksellers in this period were more involved in actual book production and their duties included supplying bookbindings. <br /> <br /> A colleague who previously owned this document remarked: “I have not been able to determine how Robert Shaw the Younger fared in the toy trade or if he was able to follow the indenture’s commandment `Taverns Inns or Ale-houses he shall not haunt’ which he never could have done if he’d followed his father into bookselling.†unknown

Evans dated it both 1797 and 1798. two petitions both concerning a waving of taxes on spirits the Orchard Cook and Abiel Wood case claiming the ship was wrecked on an island and the cost of recovering the cargo exceeded the cost of the mechandise and that their insurance had lapsed. In the second case Hooper claimed he was lax in filing papers for re-shipping a cargo overseas. Wisely both were declined as the committee felt the government is not in the business of insuring that a business is successful and well run. Ah to return to those days. Orchard Cook 1763-1819 and Abiel Wood 1772-1834 had a better idea. They both became U.S. Representatives from Massachusetts. OCLC locates eight copies. Evans 33015. Evans 34753. ESTCW15017.

Nathaniel Cutter wanted relief from being re-taxed on goods that left Massachusetts where he had paid tax and then returned to the same port with the same goods because he was harrassed by the British and French and turned away in the Dominican Republic. The committee wisely wrote: "Your Committee however cannot find any good reason for relieving him against consequences of a risque which every exporter ought to calculate for himself." Cutter would continue to take risks suppling the French in Saint-Domingue and a claim was allowed him in 1803 by the American Commission in Paris for unpaid costs by the French See Greg H.

Pages 29 30 and the rear wrap have a small chip upper edge resulting in loss of a couple of letters. <br /> <br /> This pamphlet was published shortly before "The War of Jenkins Ear" with Spain. Contents cover trade issues in the new American colonies; sale of "Negroes"; Native Americans; European countries etc. <br /> <br /> Sabin 64143. From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> The War of Jenkins' Eara was fought by Great Britain and Spain between 1739 and 1748. The majority of the fighting took place in New Granada and the Caribbean Sea with major operations largely ended by 1742. It is considered a related conflict of the 1740 to 1748 War of the Austrian Succession. The name derives from Robert Jenkins a British sea captain whose earb was allegedly severed in April 1731 by Spanish coast guards searching his ship for contraband. In 1738 opposition politicians in the British Parliament used the incident to incite support for a war against Spain.2<br /> <br /> The most significant operation of the war was a failed British attack on Cartagena in 1741 which resulted in heavy casualties and was not repeated.3 Apart from minor actions in Spanish Florida Georgia and Havana after 1742 Britain and Spain focused their efforts on the War of the Austrian Succession in Europe.

This text dated 12 December 1772 and signed Rey King at the end is also signed by the notorious Portuguese nobleman and diplomat Marquez de Pombal. Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo 1st Marquis of Pombal 1699-1782 who was the Secretary of State of the Kingdom during the reign of Dom José I in the period of 1750-1777. It is concluded with a formal text dated 18 December 1772 and signed by João Baptista de Araújo a senior officer of the Secretariat of State.In 1761 Marquez de Pombal prohibited the importation of enslaved people in Portugal and Portuguese India not for humanitarian reasons but because they were needed for labour in Brazil. He stimulated the trade of mostly African enslaved people for that colony and with his support two companies for slave trade were founded the Companhia Geral de Comércio do Grão-Pará e Maranhão and the Companhia Geral de Comércio de Pernambuco e Paraíba. Both companies were privileged and had a monopolistic character. Their lists of shareholders included many Portuguese noblemen and clergy. Between 1757 and 1777 more than 25000 enslaved people were imported to Pará and Maranhão from West African ports.The two issues can be identified by their catchwords on p. 1: issue one shows the catchword as a vol- that catchword was changed in the second issue to a.The inner margin shows some signs of the previous binding.
