17915513Paris: imprimerie Royale 1791. First edition. A nice copy of this list of tariffs and duties payable on the eve of the Revolution. An impressive alphabetical list of products or goods with opposite the amount of the tax applied upon entry and exit according to the quantity or weight. No printed or publisher details. There appear to have been many versions of this printed particularly by regional printers. Presumably for distribution throughout the kingdom. We have been unable to find another copy with the same vignette to the first page. Loose sheets unsewn. In good clean condition with a touch of edgewear and darkening only. There seem to be several different paginations to copies of this tarif. Our copy has 35 pages and is a complete A-Z list. It seems there is also a 44 page copy we believe that this has tariffs applicable in the colonies and lists of goods prohibited to export. 28cm x 21.5cm. Première édition. Bel exemplaire de cette liste des tarifs et droits à payer à la veille de la Révolution. Impressionnante liste alphabétique de produits ou marchandises avec en regard le montant de la taxe appliquée à l'entrée et à la sortie en fonction de la quantité ou du poids. Aucune mention d'imprimeur ou d'éditeur. Il semble y avoir eu de nombreuses versions imprimées en particulier par des imprimeurs régionaux. Vraisemblablement pour être distribuées dans tout le royaume. Nous n'avons pas pu trouver d'autre exemplaire avec la même vignette sur la première page. Feuilles volantes non cousues. En bon état propre avec seulement une légère usure des bords et un léger noircissement. Il semble y avoir plusieurs paginations différentes pour les exemplaires de ce tarif. Notre exemplaire compte 35 pages et constitue une liste complète de A à Z. Il semble également exister un exemplaire de 44 pages qui selon nous contient les tarifs applicables dans les colonies et les listes de marchandises interdites à l'exportation. 28 cm x 215 cm. imprimerie Royale unknown

1854List2974New York City 1854. Single one-page letter measuring 8 x 12 ½ inches. Folded with one small tear; near fine. A letter from “C. Riddle†with the New York City Inspector’s Department to “Sant. Mairs Esq†concerning the best way to push through their choice of appointee for the Collector of the Port of New York. Riddle writes:<br /> <br /> “I write this to inform you that there has been six or seven appointments made in the Custom House within the last few days. You know what the old man told us the other day when you were here. This looks to me as if there was some humbug going on. Now my dear sir in my opinion the certain way to secure Mr. Van Derlip’s appointment is for you to write to Washington and secure the influence of Dayton or Miller or someone of your Congressmen to see the Secretary of the Treasury and let them use their influence with him. It is said here by the knowing ones that all the appointments are made at Washington now if this be so this is the only way to fix the Collector. . A little effort on your part in this way will I think fix the matter.â€<br /> <br /> Given that Riddle mentions the Custom House the “Collector†position the two are trying to fix is likely Collector of the Port of New York. This position which oversaw the collection of import duties and fines was extremely lucrative: it paid a percentage of money collected at what was then the busiest port in the US and the Collector’s office was also able to hand out federal jobs. The Collector was appointed by the President who at the time was Franklin Pierce; the Secretary of the Treasury whom Riddle is suggesting Mairs influence was James Guthrie. Guthrie pushed reforms on customs collectors including requiring much more frequent reports from them.<br /> <br /> If Collector of the Port was the position in question the pair were unsuccessful; State Senator Heman J. Redfield was the Pierce-appointed Collector from 1853 to 1857 and no one named Van Derlip ever held the position.<br /> <br /> An intriguing example of an attempt at political maneuvering. Of interest to scholars of New York City politics. unknown

Very good.</p> <p>A rare and early eighteenth-century partly-printed blank form for sea vessels likely from the press of William Bradford created during the first two decades of New York printing.

He began printing in Pennsylvania in 1685 and opened a bookstore in 1688. Legal troubles including the seizure of his printing equipment in 1692 led him to relocate to New York in 1693 where he printed the acts of assembly and other official documents for the colonial council.</p> <p>DAB II:563–564.</p> unknown
