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.

At the conclusion of the text is a manuscript note: <br> <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 1/2 mil. dol. & that the total loss to our commerce was 1 1/2 mil. dol." <br> <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> <br> OCLC locates four copies. Scarce.

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.

184336988London: Printed by T.R. Harrison 1843. Folio. 19 1 blank pp. New stitching light rubberstamp in upper blank portion of title page else Very Good.<br/><br/> England used her mighty naval power in a massive effort to stamp out the International Slave Trade. The major roadblock to a Treaty with the United States was English board-and-search tactics reminiscent of the objectionable practice that had helped to bring on the War of 1812. England claimed the right to board and search any vessel suspected of carrying on the Trade. The Earl of Aberdeen reports to Lord Ashburton on the "clamour about the right of search liberty of the seas &c." which "has already created so much excitement in the United States." Secretary of State Daniel Webster and his British counterpart settled the dispute in the Webster-Ashburton Treaty which also resolved the question of Maine's boundary with Canada.<br/> This publication treats exclusively the issues involved in the Slave Trade. The Correspondence describes "the nature of the stations or baracoons in which Slaves are collected on shore to be sold to the traders"; the areas of West Africa where the trade occurs; and the tactics of the ships which convey the slaves.<br/>OCLC 1007185044 2- Lib.

19505503N.p.: Ministerstvo Pishevoy Promishlennocti 1950. Octavo-sized accordion fold 25 x 18 cm. 24 pages. Illustrated with seventeen color plates by C.B. Popov. First edition. A trade catalogue of Russian liquors issued by the Russian Ministry of Food. The spirits are of all types with a wide range of vodkas but also a rich variety of cordials brandies and dessert liqueurs. The handsome color plates all stand out for their single color backgrounds and the printing process would appear to have been a hybrid combining photolithography and lithography and then colored. Whatever one makes of the Soviet cultural landscape in general it did attain high standards in some fields and in a modest way this trade catalogue is a proud reflection of its aesthetic achievement. Clean and bright within. Textured wrappers with debossed copper lettering and gilt ruling; lightly soiled and with wear and some separation at spine. Good. OCLC locates no copies.

1890502San Francsico California: Pacific Rolling Mill Company 1890. 8vo. 250 x 170 mm. 10 x 7 inches. 100 pp. plus 4 leaves of ruled paper 2 with measurements in manuscript. Illustrated throughout with simple drawings of parts many stenciled with green wash; one plate folding. Bound in limp cloth covered boards title in gilt on front cover; a cloth binding shows some wear to gilt title two pencil drawings on front endpaper; other a very good sound copy. Straight forward price list of iron bar steel rail rolled and forged metal axles nuts bolts washers and dozens of other metal products. There is no introduction about the history of the firm just images of parts prices and a few lines of text describing specifications for some of the more complicated manufacture items. What distinguishes this rare trade catalogue is the design sense of many of the images and the application of stenciled color to highlight the object. The printed form of the parts are in outline and as one pages through the catalogue the images take on an abstract quality. Metal parts become contoured shapes with form being determined only by the light green wash applied to the physical part of the design. Although unintentional I am sure this late 19th century publication replete with many of the characteristics of period book design exhibits a very modernist feel one that is most unusual in publications of this nature. Although called the 7th edition this is only one of three issues of the PRMC's product guide and price list that is known. Organized in 1867 PRMC grew continuously and by 1892 was producing more than 40 thousand tons of iron and steel. "This giant enterprise is so closely identified with the manufacturing interests of the Pacific Coast that there is scarcely a manufacturing firm or corporation on the Coast that does not depend upon its output.
