1939réf. 180510Japan. circa1939. 103 name or business cards mounted on 17 window-faced card leaves a little faded and a few tears in an album 26.2 x 18.3 cm; green linen boards gilt decorated spine a little chipped and rubbed but in remarkable original condition. An album of Japanese name cards collected in the late 1930s apparently by Bruce Rogers who held a post at the University of Oregon. The name cards which are organized roughly in alphabetical order in a purpose-made album offer a fascinating insight into the network of contacts of a western resident in prewar Japan. They include cards presented to Rogers by journalists academics businesspeople diplomats and others. Though quite a number of his contacts are Americans or other foreigners the majority are Japanese. There are three cards from George Albert Makinson 1886-1972 and his wife presented at the time when Makinson was US Consul General in Osaka a post he took up in1938 and a card presented by Parliamentary Lower House member Honda Yoshinari 1871-1952. Some of the cards include inscriptions thanking Rogers for hospitality and one particularly interesting one is inscribed with a message of introduction from a Japanese acquaintance asking for Rogers to be allowed to be present during an air-raid drill in Tokyo an omen of the approaching war. . hardcover
2006réf. 90555Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 2006. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. iii 1 53 7 pages. The Chairman opened the hearing by saying "we’re anxious that this hearing be productive that while we explore these differences between the United States and our neighbor Canada we can better understand what is dividing us. And I think all of us hope for a new beginning with Canada. This is—however is an issue that has bedeviled people on both sides of the border. And a desire to have greater understanding and perhaps open up opportunities for further dialogue is the motive behind this hearing. So today’s hearing is going to examine the economic impacts of the Canadian softwood lumber dispute on the competitiveness and the survival of the American forest-products sector." The Chairman further stated "While I recognize the importance to consumers of an affordable supply of lumber that privilege neither outweighs nor is incompatible with trade laws of this country. Ultimately trade laws and trade agreements are to the advantage of American consumers but free trade assumes fair competition. Neither appears to be fully intact in the North American lumber market. This debate has lasted more than 20 years and we have two options before us. We can continue along a path of patchwork of tariffs and quotas or we can seek to resolve the differences in our lumber systems. We can continue to act as two countries with two markets or we can proceed as one continent with a shared market that abides by the same market rules. I realize that this dispute has strained relations with our neighbor to the north and that is most unfortunate. I deeply value our relationship with Canada which Churchill described once as the lynchpin of the English-speaking world. We share security and our democratic interests on this continent and throughout the world. Canada and the United States also have a very special economic relationship. Indeed we essentially form one large common market. For my part I want to extend to the new Canadian Government my sincere hope of a renewed North American relationship. The prompt resumption of negotiations with the United States on the softwood issue can and should be the inaugural act of that new relationship. The faster we can resolve our differences the sooner companies on both sides of the border can reassert themselves in the world market. If litigation is pursued at the expense of mutual settlement however I fear both countries and both economies will suffer. Mills on both sides of the border will continue to close and other nations beyond this continent will gladly fill in the gap. With respect to the U.S. Government I want to point out that the Canadian lumber dispute is the largest trade case in our history. This Administration and this Senator are both strong proponents of free trade. However my ability to continue supporting free-trade agreements rests upon confidence that U.S. industries are fully protected under U.S. trade law; by that meaning that they and their competitors are playing by the same rules. I applaud our officials at Commerce and USTR for the time and the gray hairs they have invested in this case and I very much look forward to their report." U. S. Government Printing Office paperback
1843réf. 24188St. Louis: John B. Sarpy 1843. Folio. 2 pp. 12 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches. Docketed on verso fold lines with some separation a few repaired. A manuscript affidavit written by fur magnate John Baptiste Sarpy of Pierre Chouteau & Co. that gives one a granular sense of the difficulities of running a frontier business dependent on mountain men like Jim Bridger and Frapp. A remarkable window onto the business dealings of famed mountain man Jim Bridger this signed manuscript affidavit of John B. Sarpy testifies to his actions on behalf of the estate of fellow fur trader Henry Fraeb also known as Frapp who was killed by Indians in the Rocky Mountains. Sarpy who was a partner in the major fur firm Pierre Chouteau &. Co. had worked closely with Frapp and knew him well. In his affidavit he writes about the Chouteau Company's concerns about Jim Bridger Frapp's partner at the time of his demise and the difficulty of getting Bridger to pay his debts. Written in St. Louis Sarpy's affidavit states: "On the 8th day of August last he was appointed . . . administrator of the estate of Henry Fraeb then lately deceased. Said Fraeb had been a trader in the mountains & was at the time of his death in partnership with a man of the name of James Bridger & said Bridger & Fraeb were indebted to the firm of Pierre Chouteau Jr. & Co. & it was feared by the members of said firm that unless some one became the administrator of the said Fraeb the said Bridger might interpose difficulties in the settlement of the accounts existing between them & Bridger & Fraeb & for the purpose of doing justice to themselves as well as to the said Fraeb the said Sarpy applied for letters of administration which were granted to him as above mentioned. The said Bridger has however since this time been here & has settled in full the accounts existing between the firm of Pierre Chouteau Jr. & Co. & the said Bridger & Fraeb. And the said Sarpy says that no property has come into his hands as the administrator of the said Fraeb although it may be that the said Fraeb has property in the mountain country or in the hands of James Bridger his former partner." Though he may have been one of the greatest and most beloved mountain men of all time Jim Bridger was not the best debtor in the world nor did Pierre Chouteau & Co. forget business. John B.

1791réf. 3649Paris: Imprimerie Nationale 1791. First edition. Bound in later hardpaper boards covered with pastepaper spine with red gilt leather title vignette. Untrimmed. Paper tanned. Otherwise in very good condition. First edition. Bound in later hardpaper boards covered with pastepaper spine with red gilt leather title vignette. 18 2 blank p. Official report on the 1786 “Commission de Tabago” an extraordinary tribunal established to examine debts between British creditors and settlers after the French conquest of the island. First edition of the National Assembly’s official report on the controversial “Commission de Tabago” an extraordinary tribunal established in 1786 under the ancien régime to review debts between British capitalists and settlers after the French conquest of Tobago. The report reconstructs the background of the island’s transfer: originally ceded to Britain in 1763 Tobago had been largely settled and financed by British investors who lent capital for the development of sugar estates secured by mortgages. Following the French conquest 1781 and definitive cession Treaty of Paris 1783 the treaty guaranteed the inhabitants’ property rights under English law. Nevertheless in 1786 the Conseil du Roi created a special commission at Tobago to investigate alleged usury and excessive interest rates in these mortgage contracts. The commission—presided by the governor and ordonnateur—confiscated titles annulled or reduced debts and declared most English claims void provoking losses estimated at over 13 million livres. This Rapport examines the legality of the tribunal under both French and English law concluding that it was arbitrary unconstitutional and in violation of the 1783 peace treaty. The committees show that English statutes were misquoted that the island’s existing courts Common Pleas and Chancery already had proper jurisdiction and that no disputes existed before the commission was imposed. The report also denounces the suppression of trial by jury and the disregard of due process. It recommends—and the Assembly accepted—that the entire commission and its judgments be annulled thereby restoring lawful jurisdiction in the colony. The episode marked one of the last acts of French administration on Tobago which was recaptured by Britain in April 1793 returned to France in 1802 under the Treaty of Amiens and formally surrendered under the Treaty of Paris in 1814. An important Revolutionary document reflecting early attempts to reconcile French constitutional principles with colonial administration and international treaty obligations. Not in Sabin.

réf. 10960Scroll 385 x 8560 mm. with fine colored paintings using brush ink & various colors of wash of the route and major features along the way. Japan: mid-Edo. The route from Edo today’s Tokyo to Nagasaki and vice versa by land and by sea was one of the major thoroughfares and trade routes of Edo-period Japan. The Dutch and Chinese had been allowed to establish exclusive trading outposts in Nagasaki and Edo was the heart of domestic commerce and administration. Foreign goods especially silks other luxury items raw materials useful to the military and medicinal goods flowed through Nagasaki to Edo and the rest of Japan while Japanese goods including copper silver and porcelain were transported to Nagasaki for export. Most of the silver was sent to China to settle the trade balance. From the late 1670s to the 1740s Japan was the world’s largest copper producer and exporter. This route also carried the head of Nagasaki’s Dejima trading post to Edo for frequent mandatory ceremonial audiences with the shogun. The beginning of our scroll depicts the land route from Edo to Kyoto and then on to Osaka. The famous battleship Atake Maru is seen docked at the mouth of the Sumida River. Starting from Edo Castle in the great capital the scroll proceeds to Nagoya and Kyoto along the TÅkaidÅ road which was the most important highway of the Edo period. It depicts in great detail and with manuscript labels: stations on the route; bridges; major castles temples and shrines; the palace at Kyoto; other notable buildings; important geographical features including Mount Fuji partly shrouded in clouds; and towns and villages along the way. Distances are given and travellers are well-depicted showing their various clothing. Also shown are ships and skiffs in the nearby sea. We see more landmarks along the TÅkaidÅ road from Kyoto to the commercial hub and port city of Osaka an extension built in the 1620s. Arriving at Osaka we view the great castle the city’s canals and other sites. The rest of the scroll shows the hazardous passage from Osaka to Nagasaki through the 400 km. long Inland Sea Seto Naikai. The accomplished artist depicts the two main routes and alternate routes depending on the weather one for summertime in the open sea and the other hugging the coast for wintertime. Another route is shown that involved landing in the Bungo area of Kyūshū island and crossing overland to Nagasaki. Navigating through the Inland Sea with its 3000 plus islands and rocky outcroppings presented enormous problems in the era before modern navigation systems. Shown in very great detail are areas of turbulence including famous whirlpools numerous islands rock formations landscapes for orientation anchorages harbors along the way and fishing areas. The route then passes through the narrow Kanmon Strait the stretch of water separating the main island of Honshu and Kyūshū to the Sea of Japan finally arriving in Nagasaki. Dejima is prominently shown. A foreign ship is shown passing the GotÅ islands making its way to Nagasaki. Our scroll is finely drawn in black ink and heightened with wash in green blue gray pink and red. The routes are drawn from a partial “bird’s-eye” perspective with lovely vistas of mountains and islands and villages and towns. In fine condition preserved in an oldish wooden box which has the inscription on the outside of the lid 江戸長崎海陸é“ä¸çµµå›³ “From Edo to Nagasaki Travel by Land and by Sea Illustrated”. Inside this lid is the ownership inscription of RyÅra Gakuto. unknown
