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.

1854WRCAM38220Washington 1854. 42pp. including statistical tables. String-tied gathered signatures. A few fox marks on the first leaves else near fine. Untrimmed. A rare and lengthy report on a proposed treaty between the United States and Great Britain to drop the duty on Canadian coal imported to the United States. The authors of the report claim that importing coal and iron from Canada would free up American labor and capital to concentrate on other industries. This report presents a thorough statistical analysis of the issues involved. Then as now the free trade argument had many detractors but the authors of this paper favor dropping the coal duties. The United States and Great Britain signed a fisheries treaty in 1854 but a provision on dropping the duties on coal was not included. OCLC locates only three copies of this rare report.

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.
