Early ownership signature of "Richard L. Schieffelin New York 1819." Noah 1785-1851 was a lawyer playwright and journalist. He was born in Philadelphia of Portuguese-Jewish ancestry. "In 1813 he was appointed consul to Tunis with a special mission to Algers. He was instructed to negotiate for the release of some Americans held as prisoners by the Algerine pirates. On May 23 1813 he sailed from Charleston but his vessel being captured by the British he was taken to England and detained two months. In October he arrived in Cadiz where he contracted with Richard R. Keene an American who had become a Spanish subject to affect the release of the twelve Americans . After being detained in France and Spain for more than a year Noah finally arrived in Tunis. On July 30 1815 he received a letter from James Monroe secretary of state revoking his commission and hinting at irregularities in his accounts. Monroe's treatment of Noah was never satisfactorily explained though his association with Keene who had been accused of treason was doubtless detrimental.In January 1817 however Noah received a letter from the Department of State which vindicated his conduct and returned several thousand dollars due him in the enterprise which resulted in the release of the American captives" DAB.
