Report 64 of the Eighteenth Congress. 123 1 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. The report includes a history of the circumstances surrounding the claims of the heir of Beaumarchais for the one million livres that the United States had deducted from Beaumarchais' account during the war. During the Revolution Beaumarchais has acted as secret agent for France and also agent between America and France for a gift of monies being given by the King. The question arising was whether the million livres was part of the three million livres promised by the King of France to the United States or whether it was Beaumarchais' for services rendered. The decision was to give the money to Beaumarchais' heirs. This discussion had been in the U. S. Congress since the claims were brought up in 1805. unknown books

1829réf. 2506Monterey: Imprenta de Gobierno a Cargo del Ciudadano Sixto Gonzalez 1829. Very good plus. 9pp. plus nineteen tables some folding and completed in manuscript. Small folio. 20-century full calf tooled in blind and gilt dyed title panel on front board. Very minor wear and scuffing. Contemporary manuscript rubrics. Light tanning. The constitution of Nuevo Léon required its Secretary of State to provide an annual account of income and expenses for the state's operation. The present work contains a seven-page narrative report on various government operations public health jails roads education industry agriculture the church and the military. Following this account are nineteen tables with statistical data for these subject areas each signed in print and with the manuscript rubric of the state secretary Pedro del Valle. Interestingly two of the tables that record census data for the population of Nuevo Léon and the sum of livestock and cattle in the state are both completed in manuscript. Scarce and an interesting record of operations and accounting for this future border state during the first decade of Mexican independence; we locate only one other copy at the British Library.
