1837256446Washington D.C. 1837. 1-1/2 pages pen and ink on paper. Folio. Old folds else fine. 1-1/2 pages pen and ink on paper. Folio. A chronicle of the short-lived Bank of the United States and its continued involvement in US Navy pensions. <br /> <br /> After the demise of the Second Bank of the United States in 1836 a result of the historical "Bank War" between US President Andrew Jackson and Bank President Nicholas Biddle Biddle attempted to resuscitate the institution as a commercial bank chartered by the State of Pennsylvania. The former bank's stock holders except the US government voted to transfer the old bank's assets and liabilities to the new bank which made it difficult to disentangle the dealings of the defunct bank with the newly state-chartered bank. This letter from Secretary of the Navy Mahlon Dickerson discusses arrangements for The Bank of the United States to fund Navy Pensions and is an example of it's continued involvement with the US Government after the Second Bank of the United States charter had expired. Reading in part: <br /> <br /> "I have received your letter of the 19th inst. and agree to the arrangement you propose that for the funds you may place at the disposal of this department for the payment of Navy Pensions credit shall be given on the Bond from the Bank of the United States chartered by the Legislature of Pennsylvania to the United States."<br /> <br /> Written at the onset of the Panic of 1837 Biddle would fail to replicate the success he experienced as President of the Second Bank of the United States and resigned as President in 1839. The Bank of the Unites States failed in 1841. Biddle faced financial ruin and was arrested for fraud but was acquitted before his death in 1844. <br /> <br /> Born in Hanover Township New Jersey Mahlon Dickerson 1770-1853 was a cavalry veteran of the Whiskey Rebellion who would go on to be elected Governor of New Jersey serve as US Senator receive two appointments as Secretary of the Navy and be confirmed as a judge for the United States District Court of New Jersey. unknown

1816ABC_47973London 1816. 35 x 44. With an illustration of the plan of attack and a view of the fortifications on the Mole at Algiers. Contemporary hand coloured lithographed plate with the plan for the Bombardment of Algiers in August 1816. The attack was instigated and won by Great Britain and the Netherlands which was celebrated in London.The Bombardment of Algiers was part of a European campaign to end piracy against Europeans by North African countries. The goal of this attack was to free Christian slaves in Algeria and stop Omar Agha -1817 the of Dey of Algiers from enslaving more Europeans. The attack was partly successful. Algeria freed around 3000 Christian slaves after the battle but did not stop enslaving Europeans until later in the 19th century.The plan for the attack was made by Admiral Lord Exmouth the commander of the fleet. The largest ships approached the harbour in a column sailed to the zone were the Algerian guns could not reach them and bombarded the defences. Other ships blocked the harbour to attack the Algerian ships and prevent them from joining the battle. On the present illustration each of the British ships is named and drawn in its planned position thus giving an interesting visual insight into 19th-century naval tactics.The sheet is folded in half with a tear along the top and bottom of the fold somewhat browned and stained with remnants of tape on the back. The plan and view remain clear and the colouring remains bright. unknown

181841562<p><strong>1818 US NAVY Rules Regulations Crowninshield USS PEACOCK Provenance Pirates WOW</strong></p><p>Exceptionally rare the "<em>Rules Regulations and Instructions for the Naval Service of the United States</em>" is a formal guidebook created under the authority of Benjamin Williams Crowninshield the Secretary of the Navy 1815-1818 to streamline and standardize practices across the naval forces of the United States. <strong>First published by Edward De Krafft in Washington 1818</strong> the book was a response to an Act of Congress from February 7 1815 during James Madison's presidency which called for the establishment of the Board of Commissioners to oversee the Navy Department. This text served to guide the transition of the Navy into a peacetime force after the War of 1812 laying out detailed instructions for various ranks and positions from yard personnel and warrant officers to high-ranking officials. It covers a wide array of topics including ship maintenance naval ceremonies discipline and provisions as well as specific instructions for surgeons pursers marines and midshipmen. The regulations also provided for the handling of convoys and established <strong>clear guidelines for salutes military honors and other ceremonies. This text played a crucial role</strong> in shaping the growth structure and discipline of the U.S. Navy during the early 19th century especially during the presidencies of James Monroe John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson.</p><p><strong>This particular copy belonged to the famous USS Peacock a sloop-of-war that played a significant role in the U.S. Navy during the early 19th century!</strong> Commissioned during the War of 1812 it was part of various naval operations including suppressing piracy in the Caribbean and patrolling South American waters during regional independence movements. After decommissioning in 1827 it was rebuilt for exploration and participated in the United States Exploring Expedition in 1838 eventually meeting its end on the Columbia Bar in 1841. The ship also took part in diplomatic missions such as conveying Francis Baylies to Argentina and engaging in treaty negotiations in Asia. Throughout its service the Peacock navigated various challenges including severe weather conditions and health crises among the crew. The fascinating post-war exploits of the USS Peacock's diplomatic and explorational missions are recorded in American diplomat Edmund Robert's notes that were published in 1837 under the title "<em>Embassy to the Eastern Courts of Cochin-China Siam and Muscat in the U.S. Sloop-of-war Peacock</em>".</p><p>Item number: #41562</p><p>Price: $2500</p><p>CROWNINSHIELD Benjamin Williams; BOARD OF NAVY COMMSIONERS OF THE UNITED STATES</p><p><strong><em>Rules Regulations and Instructions for the Naval Service of the United States: Prepared by the Board of Navy Commissioners of the United States with the Consent of the Honorable the Secretary of the Navy; In Obedience to an Act of Congress Passed Seventh February 1815 Entitled "An Act to Alter and Amend the Several Acts for Establishing a Navy Department by Adding Thereto a Board of Commissioners."</em></strong></p><p>Washington: E.

18803796<p><b>Scarce Chart of Oahu: Pearl Harbor to Diamond Head</b></p><p>This is a wonderfully detailed chart of the Pearl Harbor/Honolulu area. It names Diamond Head Waikiki Honolulu with street grid shown and Pearl Lochs later Pearl Harbor and locates numerous landmarks: school windmill leper asylum prison and several areas with heavy surf and breakers. </p><p>The chart appears to be directly derived from a larger separately issued chart of the same title that covered a somewhat larger area Hydrographic Office Chart no. 867. The larger chart was first issued in 1880 and updated at least through 1901. While a very short segment of Oahu R.R. is shown just west of Honolulu on the present chart the much longer stretch of the railway that looped around the northern portion of Pearl Lochs is not shown here as it is on the 1899 edition of the larger map. Since the main portion of the Oahu Railway was completed in late 1889 it suggests that the present map was completed prior to that date. We have been unable to determine the exact publication source of the map. In any case the chart as well as its larger relative is very uncommon; neither version is represented on OCLC. <br /></p><p><b>Condition: </b>Original fold lines. Repair of 1 ½" tear at binding edge.

Roney recently returned from Rio de Janerio and had to take large advance to pay off debts.
