1916rif. 33664New York: Jul 18 1916. 1916. Very good. - Approximately 107 words typed on a sheet of his personalized letterhead 11 inches high by 8-3/8 inches wide and addressed to James B. Pond in New York City. Signed "C. H. Boynton". Pond's red stamp "Ans'd Jul 20 1918" appears in the top right corner of the letterhead. There is some light staining to the bottom right corner of the letter & the corners of the letter are lightly creased. Very good. It appears that lecture impresario James B. Pond has sought Boynton's help in contacting Russian Premier Alexander Kerensky who Pond believes is expected in New York. Boynton writes that Kerensky's Vice-Premier Mr. Konovaloff has left New York to report back to Kerensky who is in France. Boynton advises Pond that Kerensky's plans will depend on his meeting with Konovaloff. He also gives Pond Kerensky's address at the Russian Embassy in Paris. The background to this letter is clarified in a June 11 1918 article in the New Zealand Herald headed "Allies and Russia. Envoy for Assistance. Arrival in America". The article announces "with the arrival of M. Konovaloff Vice-Premier under M. Kerensky there will be a speedy decision as to what action the allies will take in Russia against Germany.Mr. Konovaloff will probably see President Wilson shortly". Konovaloff was to seek to persuade the allies to intervene in Siberia to prevent Russia passing under German domination. Charles H. Boynton of the Stock Exchange firm of C. H. Boynton & Co. was made President of the American-Russian Chamber of Commerce which was incorporated in January 26 1916 to increase export trade with Russia. New York: Jul 18, 1916. unknown

1667rif. 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
