Della libertà de’ prezzi ossia della necessità di abolire i contratti alla voce per tutte le derrate di questo Regno

1783In -4°, pp. VIII, 182, (4). Piena pergamena con titolo al dorso. Prima edizione. Contraddittorio e inquieto studioso, Odazi (Atri, 1741 - Napoli, 1794) è considerato fra gli economisti napoletani di maggior rilievo nella seconda metà del Settecento. Allievo del Genovesi, la cui cattedra gli sarebbe stata affidata nel 1781, massone, partecipò se pure con indolenza al fermento politico che avrebbe portato nel 1799 alla guerra civile e poi alla Repubblica napoletana. Ma, imprigionato nel ’94, si era ucciso in carcere, in circostanze mai chiarite. In questo suo “dotto studio” O. invoca “contro l’opinione del Galiani, la libertà dei prezzi, col notevole intento di giovare agli umili e, di riverbero, alla prosperità nazionale” (R. di Castiglione, “La massoneria nelle due Sicilie”, Gangemi, 2006, p. 115). A restless and complex scholar, Odazi was considered one of the major neapolitan economists of the second half of XVIII century. A mason, pupil of Genovesi, whose chair he obtained in 1781, he took part in politic stirs that brong in 1799 to civil war in Naples and the to the “Repubblica”. But he was imprisoned and died in jail, probably suicide, in ’94. In this learned work O. claims, against Galiani opinion, the freedom of prices, meaning to benefit the humble classes.

1866 Smyrna Merchants Report on the Opium Market and the Shipment of 380 Cases to the United States

1866ref. BK0123Smyrna Turkey 1866. Autograph commercial letter signed by Cousinery & Fils to Lanman & Kemp New York. Stampless folded letter carried by the Messageries Maritimes steamer Volga departing Smyrna November 9 and arriving at Marseille November 14. Blue oval Cousinery & Fils handstamp and circular "MARSEILLE À LYON" traveling-post-office transit mark dated November 16 on the reverse; black circular "NEW YORK / 45 / DEC / 61 / NOTES" December 3 arrival marking on the front assessing forty-five cents in depreciated United States notes equivalent to the thirty-cent gold rate; manuscript "18" debit marking also apparently miscalculated. 1 pp. 8 x 10 ¼ inches. Old folds; light wear; fine to very fine. A commercial letter documenting the export of Ottoman opium from Smyrna to the United States. Cousinery & Fils confirm the purchase and shipment of five cases for the New York drug firm Lanman & Kemp invoiced at 84360 piastres and balanced through a £671 draft on London. The merchants describe the Smyrna opium market as being in a "state of dullness" with little demand and only limited sales of old and new drugs. They nevertheless report rumors that a Dutch company had ordered another 150 baskets which might strengthen prices. Responding to instructions from New York they agree to suspend purchases for one month and cancel two intended November shipments. A memorandum on the reverse records recent shipments aboard the steamers Sardis and Sidore and calculates a total of 380 cases of opium sent to the United States during 1866. A concise record of the nineteenth-century opium trade connecting Ottoman producers European financial intermediaries and the American pharmaceutical market. . unknown

Agreement between the United Kingdom and Portugal for the Regulation of the Opium Monopolies of Hong Kong and Macao. London June 14 1913. Treaty Series. 1913. No. 11.

Text in English and Portuguese With the neat ink stamp on cover of London County Council Library. In very fine condition. This agreement between the UK and Portugal regulated "the consumption sale & exportation of prepared opium and agreed on the repression of smuggling". It was signed shortly after the First International Opium Conference at The Hague 23 January 1912. There members of the League of Nations signed the first international drug control treaty. The UK and Portugal however set their own limits on opium imports to their colonies: 260 chests of opium per annum into Macao and 540 chests into Hong Kong for local consumption while the Government of India retained the right to purchase opium in the open market in Calcutta Bombay and elsewhere in India.

Collection of contemporary manuscripts and documents regarding the Amfioensociëteit.

1762ref. ABC_508791762. Various sizes. Ad 1-3: Contemporary sturdy paper wrappers sewn on 3 vellum supports; ad 4: the 12 documents are held together by a narrow paper wrapper with the text: "Onafgedaane Indiësche zaaken concentreerende de Amphioen Societeyt" and a string. With 12 manuscript documents and a manuscript on paper in 2 different hands. 15 1 blank; 3 ll. Collection of thirteen Dutch manuscripts concerning the Amfioensociëteit Amfioen Society documenting both its establishment in 1745 and its dissolution half a century later. Founded by the Dutch East India Company VOC to maintain its monopoly on the opium trade in the Dutch East Indies the Amfioensociëteit controlled one of the colony's most profitable monopolies until its liquidation in 1794.The earliest manuscript ads 1-3 contains the charter octrooi granted to the society for the period 1745-1755 together with its renewal for 1755-1765. Although the original charter was printed in Batavia in 1745 and survives in a single known copy that edition does not include the renewal. The present manuscript further contains a third text added in a different hand and dated November 1762 concerning the management of the society's outstanding affairs. Written on paper bearing the watermark of the VOC Chamber of Amsterdam it was probably intended for official administrative use.The remaining twelve documents relate to the financial settlement following the dissolution of the society in 1794. Most date from 1793 1794 and 1797 with one document dated 1807 reflecting the prolonged liquidation process. They concern the distribution of assets among shareholders outstanding debts and other administrative matters arising from the winding up of the company. Several documents are signed by Pieter van de Weert dates unknown cashier of the Amfioensociëteit while others mention Jacob Mossel 1704-1761 governor-general of the Dutch East Indies and the society's first director and Gerard Maximiliaan Taets van Amerongen 1727-1788 who was married to Mossel's daughter. Although several documents are headed "Copie" they are contemporary manuscript records rather than later transcripts many containing calculations annotations and other traces of active administrative use. Together they document the final years of the Amfioen Sociëteit and the administration of its dissolution.The wrappers of ads 1-3 are somewhat water stained with worm holes in the back wrapper and final leaf. The leaves are somewhat water stained especially the 3 final leaves an ink stain on leaf 12; the remaining 12 documents are folded several with small tears in the margins without loss of text occasional mild soiling. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Landwehr VOC 1449 printed copy of ad 1; STCN 240022416 1 copy; Wit Herman de 2012. Aandeelhouders van de opgeheven Amfioensociëteit in 1801. hardcover
