17930010123Good with no dust jacket. 1793. Ephemera. On offer is a superb document issued two days following the creation of the notorious Committee of Public Safety which deliberately created the Reign of Terror following the French Revolution. The Decree was published on April 8th 1793 two days following the creation of the infamous Committee of Public Safety. It deals with the seizure of property specifically mills and factories that were owned by emigres those French aristocrats who had fled France following the Revolution. This emigration created several problems for the Revolutionary government. There now existed outside of France and within the borders of her enemies a very motivated group who were dedicated to the overthrow of the Revolution. Also among other assets the mills and factories that they owned were now idle contributing to lost food production and jobs. The National Convention ordered that all emigres return to France. Failure to do so would result in being permanently barred from ever re-entering the country and all of their assets would be forfeited to the government. This Decree addresses this. An excerpt from the decree follows: Relatif à la vente des Moulins et Usines appartement a la Nation ou provenus des Emigres Translation: Relative to the sale of the Mills and Factories owned by the Nation or originating from the Emigrants The Decree follows a report from the Committees of Agriculture and Food. Further excerpts from the document follow: Les moulins et usines appartement a la nation ou provenus des emigres qui sont places sur des rivieres ou cours d'eau ne pourront etre vendus qu'apres qu'il aura ete verifie que leur conservation ne cause aucun dommage aux proprietes environnantes et que leur destruction ne deviendra pas necessaire aux dessechement des marais. Translation: The mills and factories belonging to the nation or originating from the emigrants which are located on rivers or watercourses can only be sold after it has been verified that their preservation does not cause any damage to the surrounding properties and that their destruction will not become necessary for the draining of the marshes. . Apres ce rapport le directoire du department sur l'avis de celui du district ordonnera la vente desdits objets ou il y fera surseoir si le cas l'exige. Translation: . After this report the director of the department on the advice of that of the district will order the sale of the aforementioned objects or will have it postponed if the case requires it. The manuscript is signed by Louis-Jérôme Gohier the President of the Executive Council and Minister of Justice. When Napoleon became dictator Gohiet served in his government as Consul-General in Amsterdam. He was offered a similar position in the United States but was too ill to take up the position. For a historian or a collector of material from the earliest days of the French Revolution this is a superb item documenting the earliest efforts of the French people to establish a republican government separate from the monarchy and the feudal system that had ruled France for a millennium. For a person involved in the financial or economic world it is a wonderful piece of evidence of what can happen to a society where economic realities are cast aside. This double-sided single sheet document measures 8.75 inches by 7.0 inches. It has been separated from a larger bound volume and the thread holes are visible. There is some staining from dampness and from age. Otherwise it is in very good condition. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 1 pages .
1795List3024Philadelphia Pennsylvania 1795. Two pages measuring 10 x 16 ¼ inches. Toned folded with tears at folds and marginal damage; excellent. A contract dated December 11th 1795 between Philadelphia merchant John Godfried Wachsmuth and Secretary of the Treasury Oliver Wolcott Jr. in which Wachsmuth agrees to ship $113000 worth of coffee sugar and cocoa to Amsterdam for which the US government would advance Wachsmuth the funds. The items would be consigned to an Amsterdam banking house the bankers would pay the proceeds to the United States and the US would in turn pay Wachsmuth in specie.<br /> <br /> At the time the US was finally recovering from the precarious financial situation that followed the Revolutionary War and had successfully negotiated trade deals with Great Britain and Spain. Despite political upheaval in the Netherlands the country had been and remained a significant trading partner for and investor in the US. This contract specifies that the goods will be consigned to Wilhelm and Jan Willink Nicolaas and Jacob Van Staphorst and Nicholas Hubbard; this group in particular invested heavily in the US making large loans to the government and purchases of land via the Holland Land Company including investing in the Louisiana Purchase.<br /> <br /> A deal of this sort had a number of benefits for the new country; most importantly it would continue to build a positive trade relationship with the Netherlands and improve the US’s credit abroad and it would bring more specie into the US which was experiencing a specie drain due to its imports exceeding its exports.1 It involved significant risk for Wachsmuth—he would be responsible for ensuring the bankers ultimately received the value of the goods in specie—but the potential reward in terms of both profits and a relationship with Amsterdam’s most important bankers seem to have been worth it.<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars researching the economic growth of the early United States especially in terms of foreign trade relations.<br /> <br /> 1 Nicholas A.
