During the eighteenth century the rate of increase of the volume of the trade of the Port fluctuated with the alternating periods of peace and war. Between 1700 and 1770 the commerce of the Port was nearly doubled and from 1770 to 1795 (only 25 years) it again doubled. In 1792 imports into England amounted to ?17,898,000 and exports ?23,674,000. London's share was ?12,072,000 and ?14,743,000 respectively, or nearly 65 per cent. of the whole. The greatest increases in commodities imported were sugar, rum, dyewoods, ginger and pimento from the West Indies. Some idea of the state of congestion that existed in the river at this time may be gathered from the fact that in the Upper Pool, 1,775 vessels were allowed to moor simultaneously in a space adapted for about 545. The position was aggravated also by the large number of craft, estimated at about 3,500, employed to convey cargoes from the moorings to the wharves. Goods remained for weeks at a time in lighters before they could be dealt with; this exposed them to the attacks of the weather and the depredations of river thieves who resorted to the Port in large numbers operating lucrative and well-organised trade in river plunder, at which it is recorded revenue officers notoriously connived. The several classes of thieves were known by designations applied to the recognised branches of their work. Among these may be mentioned River Pirates, Night Plunderers, Light Horsemen, Heavy Horsemen, Scuffle-Hunters and Mud Larks. The wharf proprietors resisted every effort to provide the addition of a single foot of accommodation. So crowded and over burdened did the Port become that trade and navigation were carried on under difficulties which must soon have diverted a large measure of its commerce to other ports. Eventually in 1796 a Parliamentary Committee of the House of Commons was "appointed to enquire into the best mode of providing sufficient accommodation for the increased trade and shipping of the Port." The Committee prepared an exhaustive report but did not succeed in formulating any definite recommendations for improving matters. Despite the urgency of the situation, it was not until 1799 that Parliament authorised the construction of a dock on the Isle of Dogs "for rendering more commodious and better regulating the Port of London" and in particular to secure that "West India produce might be effectually secure from loss by theft or other causes and the public revenue greatly benefited."

1903250806003Raleigh North Carolina: Self-published Reverend Morgan Landon Latta 1903. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Rare true first edition of the controversial autobiography of Reverend Morgon London Latta.<br /> <br /> IMPORTANCE<br /> <br /> Born into slavery from a background of poverty from which he successfully emerged Latta is a polarizing historical figure. In some circles Latta is recognized in as an important leader in Black education during post-Reconstruction. For others he is a fraudulent schemer whose autobiography was found to be filled with falsehoods and exaggerations of the truth that were used to exploit Northerners into donating to fund his university Latta University donations largely misappropriated for personal use - a scandal which ultimately shut down Latta university and tarnished his image. <br /> <br /> Condition- VG - ex-library. <br /> <br /> Note: I rarely sell ex-library but a true first edition of this infamous and fascinating "autobiography" rarely comes up for sale. All other copies I currently see listed as of this posting as first editions are actually the 1923-24 reprint. This copy would be a $3-5k book if not ex-library.<br /> <br /> ABOUT THE BOOK<br /> <br /> Self-published in 1903 by the author in Raleigh North Carolina. True first edition first printing as indicated by green cloth with brown black and gilt pictorial decorated top cover with the central image of a rural cabin scene and the correct 371 total pages the reprint of 1923-1924 with the 1903 copyright was significantly expanded to 600 pages. Octavo 8 3/8" x 6" 371 pp. Black and white photo illustrations. <br /> <br /> ABOUT THE AUTHOR <br /> <br /> Rev. Morgan London Latta L.L.D. 1853 -1937 was an African American educator who operated a fraudulent scheme to solicit and misappropriate funds. He founded Latta University in Raleigh North Carolina and used it to exploit the goodwill of Northern donors during the post-Reconstruction era. Despite the exposure for his criminal misconduct which brought an end to his school and standing Latta's legacy continues to be commemorated in Raleigh as a pioneer in Black education. <br /> <br /> Latta founded Latta University in Oberlin Village an antebellum enclave established by free Blacks in West Raleigh. Latta University received its official incorporation on February 15 1894 following the acquisition of land in Oberlin Village and fundraising efforts to finance its construction a process spanning three years. Latta traveled across the North making speeches and fundraising for the university. Despite numerous primary accounts and documents revealing his autobiography to be false it played a crucial role in his fundraising efforts and decades later in establishing his legacy.<br /> <br /> In 2019 Morgan Latta was inducted into the Raleigh Hall of Fame stating "Reverend Latta's history and legacy continues to inspire children from all backgrounds through programming by the City of Raleigh and the Latta House Foundation." <br /> <br /> CONDITION REPORT<br /> <br /> VERY GOOD - ex-library. Library numbering stamp on spine stamp on bottom of introduction page and rear pastedown with the library card and pocket for Hartford Public Library in Connecticut. <br /> <br /> The book was donated to the library by Henry J. Belden. His name appears on the gift bookplate of the library and his name is signed in pencil on the introduction page. Front board a bit loose. Sun-faded spine. Rubbed extremities. Corners bumped several large stains on back board and top text block edge. Mildly rubbed top cover. Lightly toned pages. Darkening and cracked gutter between two pictures preceding title page. Some creasing a few bent page corners. Text block is clean and bright. Only a few light finger smudges along the margins.<br /> <br /> All in all a very scarce example of the true first edition an important and controversial historical book.

34946At head of title: On Monday April the 8th 1861 and during the week the performances will commence with a New Drama in 4 acts by Mr. G. Conquest partly founded on a tale by Pierce Egan Esq. entitled . Whitechapel : Pownceby Steam Printer 43 Leman St. 1861. Double-page playbill 340 x 430 mm; lithograph printed on thin paper; original central fold in very good condition. A rare large-format playbill produced for the opening night of Forget & forgive ; or Love me leave me not at the Royal Grecian Theatre formerly the Eagle Tavern in London's Shoreditch in April 1861. The theatre's proprietor Benjamin Conquest 1803-1872 also managed the Garrick Theatre in nearby Leman Street - where the present playbill happens to have been printed by Henry Pownceby. George Conquest Benjamin's son not only wrote this play; he also produced directed and starred in it. This would have been one of the first of around 100 productions that the father-and-son team staged during the 1860s and early 1870s. The first act of this three-act melodrama is set in the 'Crags and mountain tops of Australia'. The characters listed on the playbill are Dick Stoney an escaped convict played by Mr Alfred Rayner; Nut Gull an 'anythingarian and lover of money' Mr George Conquest; Francis Fairland 'a wealthy trader' Mr Holland; Henry Moreland 'a settler in Australia' Mr William James; and Adele 'a wild girl and half Native wife of Henry Moreland' Mrs Charles Dillon. The final part of this opening act is described thus: 'A Dell near the Sea! The Hut and Home of Adele The Wild Girl of Australia . the Loving Wife . Love me leave me not! The Flight . the Shot.' The action then moves to England where the final two acts take place and the paths of Dick Stoney Nut Gull Henry Moreland and Adele all cross once again. The performance of Forget & forgive was followed by a burlesque - also written by Conquest - entitled Guy Faux! and a single-act play Ostler's Vision penned by local actor Alfred Rayner. A musical concert with free admission held in the Assembly Room concluded the evening's entertainment. Trove locates a single example of this playbill in Australian collections SLNSW unknown
