He would go on to a distinguished career as a judge on the Chancery court and as an author of legal commentaries. At the conclusion of the text is a manuscript note:<br /> "Mr. Wadsworth stated in the House of Representatives the 19th May 1794 that within the last six months American vessels & property had been captured by the British Privateer in the W. Indies to the extent of one million of dollars - & that other nations had seized American property to ½ mil. dol. & that the total loss to our commerce was 1½ mil. dol."<br /> In this report to President Washington the new Secretary of State Edmund Randolph details the depredations against American shipping caused by the powers involved in the French Revolutionary Wars. He quotes from a study by the "committee of Philadelphia" on the interference with American trade by the British French Spanish and Dutch and summarizes the methods used by those countries. The British impress American sailors into service the French are embargoing American goods etc. He makes no recommendations as to an appropriate response.<br /> OCLC locates four copies. Scarce.

1714WRCAM39833London 1714. Small folio broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Dbd. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Mild foxing. Very good. An early British petitionary leaflet calling for greater enforcement of customs laws for imported goods. The author charges that most consignments of foreign goods are now being made to "Naturalized Foreigners and Unfreemen" who are not under the same obligations as Freemen who state in their oath "not to Colour of Cover the Goods of Aliens." If "no Remedey be given" it is argued "all Persons will be discouraged from taking their Freedoms and few will be left of Substance to perform the necessary Service in the Government of London." The document is among the earliest examples of lobbying literature which first began proliferating during the major changes in British government in the mid-1710s.

17852954The Hague: Isaac Scheltus 1785. Very Good. Broadside. Text in two columns. Large woodcut of coat of arms of the Dutch Republic along with the arms of all member states woodcut initial also with modified Dutch Republic arms. Crease down the vertical and horizontal middle other small creases in the lower half ink offsetting from folding on lower half small tears and chips along edges small dark stain just above top woodcut. The origins of the Dutch Naval College. <br/><br/>Fascinating broadside detailing tax duties on ships trading in the East and West Indies America the Cape of Good Hope and elsewhere levied for - and applied towards - the newly founded Dutch Royal Naval College "Kweekschool voor de Zeevaart" or Seminary for Navigation which produced officers for the Dutch Sea Service. Notably these officers were not trained at sea but in the classroom -- and in the courtyard where the navy erected large model training ship for the ultimate experiential learning. The vessel was large enough for young students to climb the rigging. It is with good reason that graduates were described as "paper sailors." <br/><br/>According to this broadside the Dutch Republic approved and consented to the establishment and maintenance of the Kweekschool in the year 1781 for which the bespoke taxes were collected. The academy was officially opened in 1785 the same year that this "Publicatie" was printed. Taxes were only levied on ships of the East Indies Oostindien and the Cape of Good Hope Kaap.<br/><br/>It was with some urgency that the Kweekschool was developed: at this time there was a radical shift in the balance of maritime power: the power of the Dutch East India Company was in gradual decline in deference to the rising British East India Company which came to dominate global trade. In particular 1785 marks the first full year following the end of the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War which broke out over British and Dutch disagreements on the legality and conduct of Dutch trade with Britain's enemies during the War of American Independence. <br/><br/>The broadside is signed in print by Caspar Clotterbooke 1711-1791 who was Secretary of the States of Holland at the time.<br/><br/>OCLC shows no copy in any institution outside of the Netherlands. Our copy appears to be the only one on the market; it is probable that this is the only one in private hands.<br/><br/>Literature: See especially Margaret E.

179231794Philadelphia: s.i. 1792. Very Good. Philadelphia: 1792-93. Single folded sheet 41.5 x 33.5cm; report in manuscript verso filled nearly to completion recto a quarter filled. Signed by Captain David Ross and two other parties; docket dated 1793 signed by Inspector Jeremiah Simmons. Stock exceedingly brittle with shallow chipping long closed tears along folds with old archival mending age-toning and light soiling as well as contemporary wax seal remnants. Overall a Very Good and legible survival. <br /> <br /> Cargo report executed in manuscript and dated November 9th 1792 listing materials shipped from Port-de-Paix Saint-Domingue modern day Haiti to Philadelphia for the firm Dutilh & Wachsmuth. The date places this report in the early days of the Haitian Revolution following the August 1791 enslaved peoples' revolt. The island was a vital source of commercial interests to Philadelphia and the burgeoning revolution was at the forefront of everyone's mind making this voyage and the survival of associated documents all the more significant. Dun cites one contemporary account "'No business is going on here' one letter told 'as every one is taken up with meetings committees and arming themselves.'" Dun p. 484. <br /> <br /> Goods delivered include wine sugar and coffee and were delivered to Dutilh and a handful of others including Captain Ross himself who received a hogshead of molasses. Ross eventually rose to the rank of Continental Navy Lieutenant during the Quasi-War with France and is remembered for commanding the privateer Belvedere guiding her back to Dover after an engagement with a French brig "leaving Belvedere with 50 round shot in her hull and her sails and rigging further shredded." <br /> <br /> References: James Alexander Dun "What Avenues of Commerce Will You Americans Not Explore!

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.
