1667ref. ABC_508101667. Ca. 23.5 x 26.5 cm and ca. 20 x 24 cm. With a woodcut decorated initial on each ordinance. Two closely related Dutch Republic broadsides both concerned with the suppression of fraud in the spice trade under the monopoly and protection of the Dutch East India Company. Together they form a vivid legal response to widespread commercial adulteration of imported spices particularly pepper nutmeg and mace reflecting both the economic importance and vulnerability of the Dutch spice trade in the 17th century. Both texts are issued as public ordinances intended for proclamation and posting throughout the provinces and both impose heavy fines and confiscation for violations alongside rewards for informants and penalties distributed between officials and local relief funds.The first proclamation from 16 September 1667 responds to reports of severely compromised pepper entering the Dutch Republic via England explicitly referencing the aftermath of the Great Fire of London. The text describes burnt pepper imported after the disaster which is said to retain only the outward appearance of pepper while being stripped of all quality and even emitting a foul smell. Authorities warn that such material is being mixed with genuine spice and sold fraudulently undermining both consumers and the reputation of the VOC.The second later and more extensive proclamation of 22 November 1669 significantly broadens the scope of earlier regulations. Rather than focusing solely on pepper it addresses systematic adulteration across a wide range of spices including pepper nutmeg mace and powdered spice residues. It describes the importation of dust powder and refuse of spices from abroad which are being reprocessed and mixed with genuine goods or artificially manipulated such as being moistened with water to increase weight and deceive buyers.The margins of both of the ordinances are cut short the first ordinance shows some browning and a minor tear. Otherwise in good condition. unknown

1813ref. BK0183Lisbon 1813. Autograph letter signed 3 pp. on a folded sheet with integral address panel to Messrs. Brown & Ives Providence Rhode Island and Newport "SHIP" and circular datestamps. 8 x 9 ¾ inches. Folded for mailing with considerable wear along the folds several tears and small losses including losses from opening the seal affecting scattered words. Good overall and substantially legible. A commercial letter written from Lisbon during the War of 1812 by "P. Falconer" probably the Baltimore merchant Peregrine Falconer. The identification remains somewhat tentative but the 1812 Baltimore directory lists Comegys Falconer & Co. merchants at 190 Baltimore Street while later Maryland Chancery records document the estate of Peregrine Falconer; Missouri archival records also document Falconer and Comegys and both "Perregrine" and "Perry" Falconer. Falconer was preparing to sail from Lisbon for Falmouth and writes Brown & Ives with the latest commercial and political intelligence reaching Portugal. He expected the widening European opposition to Napoleon to bring still more nations into the war then turned immediately to British policy toward American trade: "from the complexion of affairs that in the course of the Summer all the powers in Europe will be joined against France. If I am correctly informed a new duty of 6d. pr lb in addition is imposed in Britain upon American Cotton . Savannah Charleston & New York in a state of Blockade - this with the new duty has advanced the Price of Cotton .". The Russo-Prussian alliance had been concluded only weeks earlier Sweden joined the anti-Napoleonic alliance on March 24 and the coalition would continue to expand during the year. At the same time the English Parliament was debating additional duties on American cotton: on March 31 the government proposed sixpence per pound on American cotton imported in foreign vessels while Alexander Baring warned that American cotton carried by neutral ships would consequently bear a total duty of ninepence per pound. British naval pressure on the American coast was also rapidly increasing during the spring of 1813 trapping increasing amounts of American shipping in port. Falconer's letter thus records from Lisbon the immediate commercial relationship between the blockade British taxation and the price of American cotton. The war also forced Falconer to reconsider how Brown & Ives should communicate with him once he reached Britain. He gives explicit instructions intended to obscure their route: "I presume the only means of corresponding with Liverpool will be by the way of Lisbon. I have to request that you will write to me . frequently enclosing your letters under cover to Messrs. - & Brown without marking 'Via Lisbon' as letters coming from America are all opened in Britain." The remainder concerns the practical movement of merchants and shipping through the same wartime network including Falmouth and Liverpool passage arrangements vessels preparing to sail and convoying. Overall a useful merchant's-eye letter from the spring of 1813 with the blockade of American ports the British cotton duty the developing coalition against Napoleon and the routing of commercial correspondence all appearing as parts of the same Atlantic problem. . unknown
