Édition originale de ce très rare album commémoratif : car 1812 n'est pas seulement l'année de la désastreuse campagne de Russie, mais aussi celui du décret impérial du 24 janvier 1812 par lequel, à la suite de la première extraction industrielle de sucre de betterave par Jean-Baptiste Quéruel et Benjamin Delessert (fin 1811), fut organisée la première production industrielle sur le territoire de la France métropolitaine, alors complètement coupée de ses colonies sucrières comme du commerce britannique : cent élèves, pris parmi les étudiants en pharmacie, en médecine et en chimie, devront être attachés à diverses fabriques de sucre de betteraves nouvellement établies ; chaque étudiant ayant suivi les cours pendant plus de trois mois et ayant prouvé qu'il connaît parfaitement les procédés de fabrication recevra une indemnité de 1 000 francs. Par ailleurs, le ministre de l’intérieur prendra des mesures pour faire semer dans l'étendue de l'Empire cent mille arpents métriques de betteraves, 500 licences pour la fabrication du sucre de betterave seront accordées dans tout l'Empire. Quatre fabriques impériales de sucre de betterave seront établies en 1812 devant fabriquer avec le produit de la récolte de 1812 à 1813, deux millions de kilogrammes de sucre brut.

Original printed softcovers minor chipping head & foot of spine slight chipping couple lower corners dustsoiling still a VG bright copy. First edition of one of the earliest American studies on Chinese Sugarcane Sorghum and the possibilities that this was the sorghum plant that American farmers hoped would grow in the Northern United States and definitive work on growing harvesting and distilling sorghum. A variety of “Chinese Sugarcane” was imported by Father Du Halde from Sichuan China in 1851 where it was quickly adopted also under the name of “Northern Chinese or Shanghai Sugarcane” as a crop to provide sugars for alcoholic products filling the void left by the grape crop failure in the 1850s. Chinese Sugarcane seeds were first brought into United States by Jay Browne Esq. in 1854 and a few intrepid American nurseries began planting and determining if it could be planted and harvested profitably in the North. Hyde writes that in his test crop he was able to secure a dark sugar from the cane molasses and notes that it will be of tremendous value in producing alcohol and confectionaries and that the Sorghum remnants could be fed to livestock. Hyde 1825-1898 worked with his father James Hyde in developing the very successful nursery emphasizing fruit trees ornamental trees and cash crops. He was a pioneering environmentalist who founded the first improvement society in the United States the Newton Centre Tree Club whose purpose was to emphasize beautifying the roads and commons in Massachusetts. He was Newton MA first mayor after the city was incorporated in 1873 and was also successful in persuading the Boston & Albany RR to acquire the existing single-track line of the Charles River Railroad to aid his nursery business.

First and only edition, [2], 30pp., stitched as issued in blue paper wrappers, a very good copy. The author argues against putting an additional duty on sugar "which... would be a great hardship on the sugar-planter in the West Indies, and very little benefit to the revenue...". He sets out all the costs involved in producing sugar, such as the price of slaves and the cost of keeping them, the higher freight costs, insurance, cost of animals and contributions to the defence force. Finally, he states the advantages of the sugar trade for Britain and shows how an additional duty would be to the detriment of the trade. Goldsmiths'-Kress, 8163; Hanson, 5917; Sabin, 40397; ESTC gives the British Library as the only UK hold.
1850ref. BK0112Natchitoches and New Orleans Louisiana 1850. Autograph letter signed by Michael Boyce to R. P. Gaillard Natchitoches October 25 1850 with a subsequent letter in French from Jules Gaillard to his father New Orleans November 7 1850 written on the same sheet. 9 ¾ x 8 inches. Three written pages on a single folded sheet. Old folds scattered staining and wear some losses and tears along edges affecting portions of text slight dampstaining at margins but generally legible good to very good overall. Two letters offering a look into the contrast between the legal status of free people of color and the lives of enslaved people in antebellum Louisiana. Writing from Natchitoches Michael Boyce reports to R. P. Gaillard on financial and succession matters including the deeply indebted estate of a deceased man who had served as tutor essentially a guardian to a free Black minor. Boyce explains that the succession was being administered "at the instance of a free Boy of color whose Tutor the dec'd became in 1835; or thereabouts." The deceased tutor had apparently dissipated money belonging to his ward leaving the boy with a claim against the estate. Boyce himself a judgment creditor recognizes that his own prospects for recovery are poor: "the free Boy of color whose Tutor he was must be paid first and there are a prodigious other judgments before mine so that I will never get anything. Indeed the Succession will not pay the sum he spent of the free Boy while Tutor he was." A tutor charged with administering a minor's property was accountable to his ward with the minor enjoying legal protections against the tutor's estate. Boyce recognizes the free boy's claim as taking precedence over those of numerous other creditors. On the same sheet Jules Gaillard writes from New Orleans to his father less than two weeks later. His French-language letter begins with news of the family's sugar crop-"les cannes continuent à rendre selon tes désirs" with Gaillard hoping for rain so that plantation operations can continue-and proceeds through family illnesses and travel plans before recording the death of an enslaved woman: "Ma tante Mme Gaillard a perdue sa mulâtresse Mélité du choléra. Il y a huit jours." The brief notice preserves both the name and approximate date and cause of death of Mélité an enslaved mixed-race woman in the Gaillard household who died during one of the recurrent cholera epidemics that devastated New Orleans and southern Louisiana at the midcentury. Boyce was a substantial enslaver-a history of Natchitoches Parish lists him as owning 84 enslaved people in 18621-making his discussion of the free Black ward's legally privileged claim especially illustrative of the complicated coexistence of enslavement free Black property ownership and Louisiana civil law. An interesting piece of antebellum Louisiana correspondence documenting free Black property rights enslavement sugar cultivation and the human toll of the 1850 cholera epidemic. 1 Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Northwest Louisiana The Southern Publishing Company 1890 297. . unknown
