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.

180074375Lewiston ME: A. Thompson 1800. Large business card measuring 4 7/8 x 3 1/2 inches. Printed on pink paper it advertises Pitcher and E. E. Pomeroy a jeweler both of Lewiston. There is a window on the right and there is another card attached via a brad on the back of the pink card. Above the window we read "Our Next President" and below we read "If Not Your Choice Turn the Bottom Card Around." A portrait of Jas. A. Garfield is in the window but if one turns the rear card around the portrait is of his adversary W. S. Hancock. There are further printed ads on the rear card. Some aging but a very good example of this clever form of advertising. A. Thompson unknown

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.

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.

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.
