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.

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.

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.

179843744Philadelphia 1798. First edition. Removed. A very good copy lightly soiled and edge worn. 4 pp. 8vo. 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.
