1778rif. 39128London. 1778. The rare Parliamentary printing of a bill relating to American trade under consideration by the House of Commons. In 1660 during the reign of Charles II Parliament passed a bill "for the encouraging and encreasing of Shipping and Navigation" which granted bonding for ships and vessels transporting goods from British plantations in Africa Asia and America directly to another British plantation or to a port in England Ireland or Wales. Three years later Ireland was struck from the list. The present law passed during the American Revolution restores Ireland's bonds privileges allowing her ports to accept goods directly from the colonies in the Americas now mostly limited to Canada and the West Indies Asia and Africa. Not in Kress Goldsmiths' or TPL. OCLC locates three copies at the University of Arizona the University of Texas at Dallas and the University of Regina Saskatchewan. A rare example of a law reflecting the changes of British mercantilism at the close of the First Empire. 3pp. plus printed docket title on verso of second leaf. Bifolium.

1809rif. 47399London. 1809. A Failed Opportunity to Normalize U.S.-British Trade Relations Rare printing of a British Parliamentary "slip bill" seeking to reestablish trade between Great Britain and the United States a few years before the outbreak of the War of 1812 and in the midst of great tension between the two nations. This bill was considered by Parliament in the spring of 1809 in the wake of President Jefferson's rescinding the Embargo Act and following the negotiations between U.S. Secretary of State Robert Smith and British envoy David Erskine which created a glimmer of hope that Anglo-American relations might be repaired after a period of great stress and turmoil. In March 1809 Jefferson signed the Non-Intercourse Act which rescinded the Embargo of 1807 and held out the promise of resuming trade with England and France if either of those nations ended its commercial restrictions toward the United States. The Erskine-Smith negotiations of April held out the promise of improved relations and in May the Parliament considered the present bill which permitted trade between Great Britain and the United States to be carried on in American ships. Unfortunately Prime Minister Canning disavowed the Erskine-Smith Agreement in late May and Anglo-American relations continued to deteriorate culminating in outright warfare in 1812. Slip bills are printed during the legislative process in small numbers for the use of legislators and staff. They are ephemeral items and their survival is rare. A printed note before the text of the bill reads "the figures in the margin denote the Number of the Folios in the written copy" which indicates just how early in the legislative process these bills were printed. OCLC locates only a single copy at the University of Massachusetts. Folio. Lightly tanned around the edges. Near fine. OCLC 49887290. unknown

1831rif. 169340Edinburgh: Printed and sold for Friends of Commerce in England Scotland and Ireland 1831. Reforming bankruptcy First edition presentation copy inscribed to "Mr Vizard" presumably the prominent lawyer William Vizard 1774-1859 who was in 1831 the active and reform-minded secretary of bankrupts under Lord Grey. The Caution to Bankers is a manifesto-handbook by one of the earliest trade protection societies in Britain. The bankruptcy system and its potential for exploitation was a key concern of the Friends who complain in the Caution of its lack of subtlety and the opportunities it provided for dishonest figures to "take the benefit of the insolvent and bankrupt laws easily arrange matters for making all appear fair and just when they come to be examined by the Judges and Commissioners" p. 31. Vizard together with Brougham as Lord Chancellor was in 1831 engaged on the long-anticipated project of removing bankruptcy from the jurisdiction of chancery and of establishing dedicated bankruptcy courts. The inscription - "Mr Vizard with best respects from the Editor" - is on the front free endpaper. Octavo 220 x 139 mm pp. iv ii ii ii 148 24. Contemporary brown cloth-backed blue boards spine with later printed label edges uncut. Light bumping and rubbing front free endpaper re-inserted several gutters split minor foxing and browning to contents: a very good copy. Goldsmiths' 26740. hardcover
