1785réf. 57874Mexico. November 22 1785. Announcing the Compañia Real de Filipinas Regulating Trade with the Philippines A very rare Mexico City printing of the announcement of the creation of the Royal Company of the Philippines by Spanish royal decree in 1785 which regulated and effectively monopolized trade with the Philippines. This copy bears the manuscript rubric of Don Bernardo de Gálvez and signature of his secretary Joseph de Gorraes. Gálvez then Viceroy of New Spain ordered this broadside printed for the reason that "An Establishment so important and of such general interest should be understood and known by all" our translation. The creation of the Royal Company would be particularly relevant to residents of Mexico as most if not all of the trade with the Philippines would come through New Spain. Accompanying the announcement this broadside also prints Articles 1 2 14 21 and 100 of the royal decree which were considered to effectively summarize the purpose and mechanics of the new Company. The articles printed here proclaim that the Company is to enjoy the protection of the Crown for at least twenty-five years establish a fund to back its shares describe how shares and subscriptions could be purchased and organize a general meeting of shareholders. Notably absent from this broadside is the important article of the decree which closed Manila's ports to foreign vessels giving the Company an effective monopoly on all trade between Asia and the Americas. The Royal Company of the Philippines quickly gained vast wealth from this lucrative deal transporting commodities such as indigo coffee sugar spices and cotton across the Pacific. Regardless of its initial success the Company did not endure - the wave of rebellions against Spanish rule in Central and South America in the early 19th century quickly rendered it obsolete and the company was officially dissolved in 1834. A rare broadside announcing this important Royal Decree to the people of the Western Hemisphere; OCLC records only one copy at the Bancroft Library. Broadside printed on two joined sheets of sealed paper 23½ x 17 inches in total. Old folds and light creases a few small worm holes. Very good. OCLC 21747301. unknown

A SAILOR BOY'S EXPERIENCE ABOARD A SLAVE SHIP IN THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENT CENTURY

1867réf. ST20572Hamilton Scotland: W. Naismith 1867. FIRST EDITION. 168 x 106 mm. 6 1/2 x 4 1/4". vii 183 pp. In the very rare original green paper wrappers. Spine cocked wrappers somewhat soiled spine with paper beginning to lift along the bottom inch of the rear joint other minor exterior defects but the volume solid and internally in excellent condition. QUITE A GOOD COPY of a fragile inexpensively produced volume one would expect to find in shambles. Told in the form of letters drawn from the author's actual correspondence as well as his contemporary journals this first-hand account by a young sailor of the transatlantic slave trade in the years 1800-04 brings those horrific voyages vividly to life. At the same time the author writing in direct unvarnished prose makes it clear he is at least as much an observer of difficult sea life in general as he is concerned with the abolition of a great evil. In the preface Robinson 1786-1875 explains his reasons for publishing this record of his time aboard a slave ship: "I have heard so many gross misstatements respecting West Indian slavery and the horrors of the 'Middle Passage' that I formed the resolution should time be allowed me to give the result of my own experience . . . in order to disabuse the minds of many well-meaning people." He is rightly aware that some readers may be offended by unconvincing apology in an account encumbered with naïveté : "It is doubtless the opinion of many that I put myself into a wrong position and incurred blame and obloquy by entering into this obnoxious trade at all. It may be so; I will not dispute the matter. I certainly did not feel myself comfortable or at home in the service. But let it be remembered in my favour that the trade was then a lawful one; whilst at the same time I was induced to enter it by what is called an accidental circumstance . . . and an irresistible desire for a seafaring life so completely carried me away that it became a matter of perfect indifference to me where the ship went if not to the bottom provided I was aboard of her--or in what trade engaged if not a pirate." As indicated the letters originating in various ports in England West Africa and the West Indies depict a harsh life at sea for all involved but most especially for the wretches who made up the ship's cargo. An accident on board nearly cost Robinson his foot and ended his career at sea just a year before in his words "the united voice of a generous and philanthropic people" passed the Emancipation Bill into law ending British participation in the slave trade. The phrasing here makes it clear our narrator had his heart mostly in the right place. This is a very rare book which is not surprising for a pocket-sized work from a provincial press near Glasgow issued in insubstantial paper wrappers. OCLC records just two copies in libraries both in the UK while RBH and ABSA seem to list no copies at auction except the present one. W. Naismith unknown

[ODAZI, Troiano]MareMagnum

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

In -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.

A beverage of empire - the demise of the Chinese tea monopoly First edition covering material submitted by East India Company representatives between 1834 and 1838 - a crucial period during which Britain laid the foundations of its tea empire in Assam. The splendid maps incorporate the findings of explorers such as Captain Francis Jenkins and the observations of tea-growing made in China by the Macartney and Amherst embassies. The documents concern the key actors in the growth of Britain's formal tea empire including Jenkins the powerful Bengal civil servant William Hay Macnaghten and the members of the Tea Committee established by Governor William Bentinck in 1834. Pages 36-37 carry the text of the committee's momentous 24 December 1834 report announcing that the tea plant was indigenous to Assam: "We have no hesitation in declaring this discovery. to be by far the most important and valuable that has ever been made on matters connected with the agricultural or commercial resources of this empire." Five years later the first twelve chests of Assam-grown tea were auctioned in London to great fanfare.

Inscribed on front cover: "From the Honble. John Q. Adams" who served as U.S. President at the time of publication and contributed the introductory comment published on p. 3. This inscription written on behalf of the President whose hand suffered from a tremor later in his career. Volume documenting the challenges the U.S. government faced trying to enforce an 1808 ban on the international slave trade which involved a complicated six-year-long case in which three American slave ships the Constitution the Louisa and the Merino were seized for transporting enslaved people between Havana Cuba Pensacola Florida and Mobile Alabama. More than 100 enslaved people were seized in the capture of the ships. At the conclusion of the case in 1825 only 65 of them were accounted for the others died escaped or were simply lost in the broader institution of slavery. The 65 remaining humans were sold at auction and the slave traders were not punished other than the financial loss of their ships and cargo. While the enforcement of the 1808 ban may have been a deterrent for some slave traders the National Archives estimates that 1.2 million slaves were brought into the U.S. illegally during the first half of the 19th century. Provenance: We have been unable to establish which library this came out of though we have checked each copy-specific description of the examples listed in OCLC none of which are described as being inscribed by or for Adams. The previous owner states that he purchased this copy from a Parisian dealer in the 1980s.

Famous physiocratic polemic between Baudeau and Necker, here both present.'Doctrinaire économiste, l'un des plus fervens sectateurs de cette école, et l'un de ceux qui en ont le mieux exposé les principes' (Blanqui, p. 420). The work was written following the publication of Necker's Sur la législation et le commerce des grains presenting, in magnificent style, the arguments of the Physiocrats against Necker's theories. Baudeau criticizes Necker for his preference of industry over agriculture, for his Colbertism and his preferential attitude towards commerce in luxury goods. Baudeau advocates a return to the economics of Sully, protests against the protectionist laws of the new government and argues that free trade in corn will cause a price reduction rather than raise the price of bread.Second work: Kress 7144; Goldsmiths 11267; Higgs 6260; INED 3372; not in Einaudi; Lichtenberger, Socialisme au XVIIIe siècle, pp. 305-310.

Contemporary marbled calf, spines gilt with raised bands, red labels with gilt lettering. Kress 4584; Goldsmiths 7819; not in Einaudi; not in INED. Jacques Savary (1622-1690) was for some time director of the French Royal Domains, and later became general business agent to the Duke of Mantua. He had such sound notions about commerce and was so successful in his operations that Colbert appointed him in 1670 in the "Conseil de la Reforme", which was to reform and refine the rules of commercial practice. The "Commercial Code" of 1673 resulting from it was called after him "Code Savary". He was then also pressed to write down and publish all his commercial knowledge, which pressure led to the publication of the famous Le parfait Négociant (1675). It taught everything a merchant should know, but only his left papers revealed to the world the immense and universal knowledge on commerce Savary possessed. The dictionary was immensely successful and covers all aspects of commerce and trade as well as legal and historical matters. Deals among others with: trading cities throughout the world, their manufactures, operation of foreign trade, trading companies (including a short history of the South Sea Company), banking (including an account of John Law's Bank), bookkeeping, etc. etc. The dictionary was the first of its kind to appear in Europe, and has furnished the principal part of the material for most of the dictionaries that were to follow. The project was sponsored by the French government who justly considered that such a dictionary, if well executed, would be of national importance. Hence a considerable, and indeed the most valuable portion of the work is compiled from memoirs sent to the author, by order of government, by the inspectors of manufactures in France and by the French consuls in foreign countries (see: McCulloch, p. 61). The dictionary is preceded, in volume one, with an elaborate, long (upto column 544) separate essay on the "État général du commerce de l'Europe" (and followed by the other continents Africa, Asia and the Americas). - Very small damage to head of spines of volumes 1 and 2.

Jacques Savary (1622-1690) was for some time director of the French Royal Domains, and later became general business agent to the Duke of Mantua. He had such sound notions about commerce and was so successful in his operations that Colbert appointed him in 1670 in the "Conseil de la Reforme", which was to reform and refine the rules of commercial practice. The "Commercial Code" of 1673 resulting from it was called after him "Code Savary". He was then also pressed to write down and publish all his commercial knowledge, which pressure led to the publication of the famous Le parfait Négociant (1675). It taught everything a merchant should know, but only his left papers revealed to the world the immense and universal knowledge on commerce Savary possessed. The dictionary was immensely successful and covers all aspects of commerce and trade as well as legal and historical matters. Deals among others with: trading cities throughout the world, their manufactures, operation of foreign trade, trading companies (including a short history of the South Sea Company), banking (including an account of John Law's Bank), bookkeeping, etc. etc. The dictionary was the first of its kind to appear in Europe, and has furnished the principal part of the material for most of the dictionaries that were to follow. The project was sponsored by the French government who justly considered that such a dictionary, if well executed, would be of national importance. Hence a considerable, and indeed the most valuable portion of the work is compiled from memoirs sent to the author, by order of government, by the inspectors of manufactures in France and by the French consuls in foreign countries (see: McCulloch, p. 61). The dictionary is preceded, in volume one, by an elaborate, long (upto column 544) separate essay on the "État général du commerce de l'Europe" (and followed by other essays on the continents of Africa, Asia and the Americas). Ooii -Vviv in volume three with a wormtrack in the upper outer blank margin.

[Great Fire of New York - Commerce - Insurance - New Orleans - Florida Indian Removal] Baker & MooreBiblio.com

Letter Describing the Great Fire of 1835 and Its Immediate Effects on Insurance Commodity Prices and Trade with New Orleans: "Our City was about half burned up.

1835réf. BK0025New York City 1835. Autograph letter signed by the merchant firm Baker & Moore 4 pp. addressed to General William Battey care of Dr. Charles Luzenberg at the Franklin Infirmary on the Pontchartrain Railroad New Orleans. Stampless folded letter with red circular "NEW-YORK" December 31 datestamp and manuscript "25" rate. Appx. 1000 words. File folds; otherwise very good. A lengthy commercial letter written thirteen days after the Great Fire of New York describing the destruction of the city's mercantile district and tracing its immediate effects through insurance capital banking commodity prices and trade with New Orleans. Written by the New York firm of Baker & Moore to their associate William Battey the letter provides a near-contemporary account of the fire an assessment of the city's financial resilience and instructions for exploiting the resulting fluctuations in the markets for brandy wine raisins tobacco iron and copper. The fire began on the evening of December 16 during an extraordinary cold spell and northwest gale. Frozen hydrants wells cisterns and hoses left the city's volunteer fire companies largely unable to contain it. By the following day the fire had destroyed much of the commercial district between Wall Street and the East River including the Merchants' Exchange and hundreds of stores and warehouses. Buildings were eventually demolished with gunpowder to create firebreaks at Exchange Place and Coenties Slip. Contemporary estimates varied but approximately 674 buildings were destroyed with losses eventually placed at twenty million dollars or more.1 Baker & Moore begin by describing the extent of the burned district the severe weather and the use of explosives to arrest the flames: "Since my last you have no doubt received the paper sent you giving particulars of the great calamity which has befallen our City. On the 16th our City was about half burned up. From Coffee House Slip to Coenties Slip by the water & William Street is all in ruins. There is but one store left in that whole district. It was one of the coldest nights that we ever experienced & the wind blew a gale from Northwest. The fire broke out in the rear of the Exchange and went down through to the water spreading both ways and would have undoubtedly continued on but for the wide slips of Coffee House & Coenties Slip with the occasional blowing up of some stores & houses with powder to check the flame in its progress" The account quickly turns from the physical destruction to the distribution of its financial losses: "The destruction of property is immense probably from 10 to 15000000$ and it was supposed that many would be ruined but tis remarkable so far we have not heard of one. The Banks have been liberal and there has been a proper and benevolent feeling manifested throughout & should some further aid be brought in which probably will from the State or general government we think there may be no failures. The Insurance companies most of them are ruined and the principal loss is in Insurance capital. The loss will in some instances fall upon those who cannot well afford it. Many widows & orphans have had their all taken from them. The loss is large and New York has met with a great calamity but she is made of such materials & her facilities are so large & varied that the mercantile community will bear up under more than any other place in the Union & we think in one year's time it will be almost forgotten." The confidence expressed here correctly anticipated the city's rapid commercial recovery. Banks and government agencies extended credit and payment terms rebuilding began almost immediately and the burned district was reconstructed with new countinghouses and warehouses. The disaster also exposed the inadequacy of New York's water supply and firefighting arrangements contributing to later infrastructure and institutional reforms. Baker & Moore then apply the disaster to their own trade with New Orleans. Hundreds of warehouses and their contents had been destroyed increasing prices of imported foods wines and spirits. The firm instructs Battey to use the New York price current to obtain higher prices for their consignments: "This fire has advanced most all kinds of goods. Raisins are worth here $3-$3½. Wines such as Mess. Eastman's have advanced with us 4-6 cents. So many hundred casks destroyed must advance it and make it higher through the season. More than one half the Brandy was consumed tis now selling at $1.75 and some are asking $2. We wish what we sent you sold & this will be a favorable time to sell-show N.Y. price current-and get as good a price as you can. There will we think be no want of Brandy. Those raisins we think you had better dispose of at once. We think from N.O. current must pay something handsome for us. In regard to old Iron we find good old iron will always sell for the money for 112½ gross hundred equal to 1c per lb. Cast & wrought are same price. If you can come across a lot to do you may make it answer & pay us well. Copper if you can buy low enough may pay something. We thought hay might pay out but tis so high we cannot buy to send. We are of opinion that goods generally will be higher in consequence of this fire yet when we consign goods we wish them sold when they can to pay and we wish Eastman & Co. to sell and close up our affairs in their hands." The concluding paragraph briefly introduces events in Florida. The Second Seminole War had begun that month following mounting resistance to the forced removal of the Seminole people from Florida. Baker & Moore believed that the conflict might affect the movements of a brig expected in New Orleans: "We observe that trouble is anticipated with the Indians in Florida & if so our Brig may not get a load of them & be in N. Orleans earlier than we anticipated tis uncertain what will be the result they may detain her longer until they can get them on board." The wording appears to indicate that the vessel was expected to transport a group of Native people although the letter does not identify the brig its owners or the precise circumstances of the contemplated voyage. The recipient General William Battey was then in New Orleans apparently acting as Baker & Moore's commercial representative while also attending to his health at the Franklin Infirmary. The firm gave him considerable discretion to supervise consignments collect funds purchase goods when opportunities arose and forward current market information to New York. The address places him in the care of Dr. Charles Aloysius Luzenberg who founded the Franklin Infirmary with municipal support in 1835 and subsequently helped establish the Medical College of Louisiana the forerunner of Tulane's medical school.2 Baker & Moore appear to have been commission or importing merchants whose own affairs escaped direct damage but whose trade was immediately altered by the destruction of competing inventories. The letter thus follows the fire from the burned commercial district into the decisions of a New York firm and its representative in New Orleans. A substantial contemporary account of the Great Fire of 1835 documenting the destruction of New York's commercial center and the disaster's immediate movement through insurance banking commodity markets interregional credit and trade with New Orleans. We find no similar examples on the secondary market or in auction records. 1 Herbert Asbury "The Great Fire of 1835" The New Yorker July 26 1930. 2 Louisiana Historical Association "Luzenberg Charles Aloysius" in Dictionary of Louisiana Biography accessed August 2 2026 https://www.lahistory.org/resources/dictionary-louisiana-biography/dictionary-of-louisiana-biography-l/. . unknown

Photographic Copy of The New Orleans Democrat and Annual Review of Commercial New Orleans

1880réf. 1631880. Photo album; Albumen prints 30; Each 5 3/4 x 4 inches An interesting and unusual album consisting of photographic reproductions of all four pages from the September 1 1880 issue followed by all 26 pages of the Annual Review of Commercial New Orleans published as a supplement on the same day. The photographs chronicle an immense amount of advertisements for the business houses stores and companies active in New Orleans at the time including ads for photographers T. Lilienthal and W. W. Washburn. Also present are ads for various insurance agencies and banks; dealers and importers of everything from musical instruments barbed wire French plate mirrors and fireworks to furniture books stationary and dry-goods; and of course odd-ball promotions for bizarre 19th-century miracle cures such as "Kidnegen: The Great Kidney Regulator and Ditretic" and Reed's Tonic "a thorough remedy in every case of Malarial fever." Also advertised are products and companies still recognized today such as Lea and Perrins Genuine Worcestershire sauce and Procter & Gamble Soaps. At least 2 pages are dedicated solely to the Cotton trade in the region and dealers in "Plantation Machinery." Meandering in-between the company advertisements are brief reports on the current state of trade in all manner of business sectors; Lumber Freight Paper-making Leather manufacturing Land prices Mineral resources and many many more. The greatest mystery here is why the album was produced in the first place; perhaps as a means to later reproduce the list of businesses--a sort of Yellow Pages. It is fairly likely that the photographs were produced by either Lilienthal or Washburn due to their inclusion in the directory. Another point of curiosity is the size of the album. While the minuscule text is mostly legible under magnification the miniature quality of the advertisements does not exactly suggest every day use! The photographs are mounted recto/verso to 15 cards which were formerly attached to the present gilt-decorated morocco album. The cloth hinges have fully deteriorated and the cards are loose and collated in order. unknown

Treaty Between Her Majesty and the Oriental Republick of the Uruguay for the Abolition of the Traffick in Slaves Signed at Monte-Video July 13 1839

1842réf. 6316London: T.R. Harrison 1842. Near fine. 38pp. stitched. Very minor bumps to top edge of first leaf light dust-soiling to outer leaves. A very rare treaty between Queen Victoria’s Britain and the “Oriental Republick of the Uruguay” printed in both English and Spanish in two parallel columns throughout. According to the text the parties were “mutually animated by a sincere desire to co-operate for the utter extinction of the barbarous Traffick in Slaves.for the special purpose of immediately attaining this object so far as relates to the total and final abolition of the Slave Trade of the Oriental Republick of the Uruguay.” The treaty is comprised of fourteen original articles plus three annexes totaling forty-six additional articles and four additional articles at the end covering a host of issues pertaining to the suppression of the slave trade. These issues included enforcement procedures the establishment of “Mixed Courts of Justice” “Regulations in respect to treatments of liberated negroes” and much more. With regard to slaves found on international vessels the two nations hoped for “permanent good treatment and a full and complete emancipation according to the humane intentions of the Parties of the Treaty.” The present treaty was part of a larger effort by the British Crown to put an end to the transatlantic slave trade in the first half of the 19th century; at this same time Britain had reached terms on a similar treaty with the Republic of Texas and other nations. The document is signed at the end in type by J.H. Mandeville and Jose Ellauri representatives of the two countries who originally signed the treaty at Montevideo on July 13 1839; the present work was “Presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty” in 1842 likely due to bureaucratic delays. Uruguay would have been an important ally for Great Britain in monitoring the seas against the transatlantic slave trade given its position opposite the South Atlantic Ocean from West Africa. OCLC records just a single physical copy of this treaty at the University of Arizona. Cundall 2854. T.R. Harrison unknown
