1845ABC_48495Johanna Anjouan 1845. Ca. 32.5 x 20.5 cm. Original paper wrappers. 5 1 blank pp. Historically important treaty between Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland 1819-1901 and Sultan Selim dates unknown of Johanna present-day Anjouan for the suppression of the slave trade. The treaty was concluded in November 1844. The present work is the ratified version from 10 December 1845 signed by Sultan Selim and Christopher Wyvill 1792-1863 captain of the HMS Cleopatra and formation commander of the British Royal Navy in Africa between 1849-1853. The publication is exceptionally rare. We have not been able to find any printed copies anywhere else either in sales records or libraries. The archives of the UK parliament make mention of the treaty but it appears to be otherwise unknown.In the present work the Sultan of Anjouan states that: "There shall be no dealing in slaves in our territory and no slaves shall be imported to be sold in our country". He further allows the British to inspect Anjouan ships and take them to an English port if they are found engaging in slave trade. The present treaty which is of significant historical importance is an excellent example of the measures that were undertaken across the world to stop the slave trade.The leaves are slightly creased and browned around the edges. Otherwise in good condition. unknown
179743741Philadelphia: Printed by William Ross 1797. First edition. Removed. Very good mostly unopened uncut untrimmed copy minor browning at lower edge. 3 226-232 2 pp. 8vo. 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.

18426316London: T.R. Harrison 1842. Near fine. 38pp. stitched. Very minor bumps to top edge of first leaf light dust-soiling to outer leaves. A very rare treaty between Queen Victoria’s Britain and the “Oriental Republick of the Uruguay†printed in both English and Spanish in two parallel columns throughout. According to the text the parties were “mutually animated by a sincere desire to co-operate for the utter extinction of the barbarous Traffick in Slaves.for the special purpose of immediately attaining this object so far as relates to the total and final abolition of the Slave Trade of the Oriental Republick of the Uruguay.†The treaty is comprised of fourteen original articles plus three annexes totaling forty-six additional articles and four additional articles at the end covering a host of issues pertaining to the suppression of the slave trade. These issues included enforcement procedures the establishment of “Mixed Courts of Justice†“Regulations in respect to treatments of liberated negroes†and much more. With regard to slaves found on international vessels the two nations hoped for “permanent good treatment and a full and complete emancipation according to the humane intentions of the Parties of the Treaty.â€<br /> <br /> The present treaty was part of a larger effort by the British Crown to put an end to the transatlantic slave trade in the first half of the 19th century; at this same time Britain had reached terms on a similar treaty with the Republic of Texas and other nations. The document is signed at the end in type by J.H. Mandeville and Jose Ellauri representatives of the two countries who originally signed the treaty at Montevideo on July 13 1839; the present work was “Presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty†in 1842 likely due to bureaucratic delays. Uruguay would have been an important ally for Great Britain in monitoring the seas against the transatlantic slave trade given its position opposite the South Atlantic Ocean from West Africa. OCLC records just a single physical copy of this treaty at the University of Arizona.<br /> <br /> Cundall 2854. T.R. Harrison unknown

AQ27989vs.: vs. 1820-40s An archive comprised of sixty-eight loose articles of late Georgian and early Victorian manuscript and printed ephemera relating to the purchase of alcohol including a number of bill-heads for merchants in inter alia Glasgow and London.

The elder Bailet who established his business in 1817 relinquished control in the 1830s in order to devote himself more fully to his roles as newspaper editor and author. The later material in this archive dating to the 1840s is addressed to Bailey's son-in-law and successor John Brown. A remarkable opportunity to acquire an archive of mid-nineteenth century commercial material directly connected to the provincial wine and spirit trade. . [vs.], [1820-40s] unknown
