The early owner of the present document has also included some manuscript notes on the trading; e.g. "dull" "rather falling in price" and "in demand."<br/><br/>Although several later New Orleans commercial newspapers would carry the above title we find no record of this handbill from years immediately following the Louisiana Purchase. unknown books
1804WRCAM49186Paris: Ballard 1804. viii1831-176pp. plus folding table. Lacking pp.19-30. Later 19th-century marbled wrappers. Library label on front cover from Shwartz Historical Library. Minor rubbing and edge wear. Bookplate on front pastedown. Loss to portions of thirteen leaves affecting some text reinforced with tape. Dust soiling on titlepage dampstaining to some leaves toward end of text. A battered copy of a great rarity. An extraordinarily rare account of travels in Louisiana the Mississippi Valley and the Illinois-Ohio country especially interesting in that the travels practically coincide with the Louisiana Purchase. The work has been attributed to either Wante or G. Boucher de la Richardiere. "The author - whoever he was - travelled extensively throughout the lower Mississippi Valley" - Howes. "There is also much on the Illinois-Ohio country but the body of the work has to do with the Louisiana Cession" - Eberstadt. Incomplete but quite rare as Howes accorded it a "b" rating. The great Simon Shwartz library of Louisiana material had a copy sold for $15 in 1926 in blue morocco with an inked name on the titlepage. This is perhaps an additional Shwartz copy not auctioned at the time. The only other copy we can find any record of selling is that listed by the Eberstadts in 1953. HOWES W87 "b." SABIN 101246.

1803WRCAM36542BPhiladelphia: Printed by W. Duane 1803. 2198pp. Modern quarter calf and cloth spine gilt. Light foxing and toning heavier to outer leaves. Faint dampstaining in margin of last few leaves. Very good. Untrimmed. These Senate debates were printed by William Duane the mercurial editor of the AURORA. The debates were prompted when the Spanish intendent at New Orleans suspended the American right to deposit goods at New Orleans in October 1802. The right had been guaranteed by Pinckney's Treaty with Spain of 1795 but was revocable. Among the issues debated by the Senate were resolutions authorizing the President to take the Mississippi Territory by force and providing militia and money for that purpose. American fears that they might lose access to New Orleans was one of the motivations prompting Thomas Jefferson to negotiate with the French for the purchase of Louisiana. The Louisiana Purchase treaty was signed in April 1803. At this time there was no regular record kept of the debates on the Senate floor and the body only admitted stenographers and note takers into the chamber in 1802. William Duane's account of the debate over the right to deposit goods at New Orleans and potential military action to enforce that right then is a rare and valuable glimpse into the deliberations of the Senate on a question of great importance to the territorial expansion of the United States.

1812WRCAM40147Washington City 1812. 32pp. Dbd. Lightly foxed some chipping along spine- edge. Slight tanning to text. Good. The constitution of the State of Louisiana as accepted by the United States for entry into the Union. Louisiana's 1812 constitution was modeled after that of Kentucky providing for a two-house legislature and extensive executive powers. Only adult white males who paid taxes could vote which instantly disqualified two-thirds of the adult white male population and of course all nonwhites and women. The appeal for statehood was particularly urgent as the War of 1812 was unfolding. The Orleans Convention writes in January "Motives of peculiar urgency connected with the repose and security of the people of this territory have induced them to solicit of the executive that the constitution herewith transmitted may be immediately laid before Congress so as to be acted on without delay at their present session." Louisiana was the eighteenth state to enter the Union. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 27252. unknown books
