1819ref. 24603New-York: Printed by C.S. Van Winkle 1819. 39 1 blank pp. Disbound wrapper remnants in inner margins of first and last page. Light soil Good. This pamphlet advocates in response to the Panic of 1819 "two restrictions on banks: first they may discount no 'accommodation paper' i.e. simple loans that were not self-liquidating in the course of active trade; and second that they grant no renewals of loans." The absence of such restrictions the author argues encouraged excessive speculations and brought about the depression. See Rothbard 'The Panic of 1819' page 132 1962. As evidence Aristides cites the "wild enthusiasm" which characterized resumption of commerce after the 1815 Treaty of Ghent and the resulting extensions of credit "to the utmost limit." Authorship has been variously attributed to Webster and Van Ness. Skeel doubts Webster's hand. "Among other reasons she states that the Letter does not seem to be written in his style and that she finds no allusion to it in his letters. The pamphlet has also been ascribed to William P. Van Ness another who used the pseudonym 'Aristides.'" Sabin. AI 49978 4. Sabin 102364. See Skeel page 563 note 12. Printed by C.S. Van Winkle unknown books

1819ref. 50041New York: Kirk and Mercein 1819. Mordecai Noah was an American Jewish Lawyer playwright and diplomat. In 1813 he was appointed consul to Tunis with a special . New York: Kirk and Mercein 1819. Mordecai Noah was an American Jewish Lawyer playwright and diplomat. In 1813 he was appointed consul to Tunis with a special mission to Algiers negotiating for the release of American sailors held prisoner there. The "Travels" referred to in the title were more fraught than they might appear. On his way to his post his ship was seized by the British and he was held in England for two months before being allowed to continue his mission only to be delayed in France and Spain for more than a year. President Monroe revoked his commission in 1815 after he'd succeeded in having twelve American prisoners released. Monroe's motives were never fully explained and they carried a whiff of antisemitism which won Noah favor in certain circles. He became a newspaper editor and made unsuccessful efforts to establish a place of safe haven for oppressed Jews of all nations. He later found success as a playwright and continued his career as a newspaperman. The forty-seven pages of appendices at the end of the volume contain interesting details on the means by which prisoners were freed and such factual information as the particulars of our commerce with Tunis.

Hartford: Printed by Hudson and Goodwin 1785. xix 48 pp. Facsimile reprint The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. 2008. With a New introduction and notes "Noah Webster: Proposing and Promoting Stronger National Union Through the Power of the English Language" by John R. Vile Professor and Chair Political Science Department Middle Tennessee State University Murfreesboro TN. ISBN 9781584778561. Hardcover. New. $39.95 Remembered today as a lexicographer Webster 1758-1843 was equally active as a political writer. As is the case with his dictionary and grammar textbooks his political essays are strongly patriotic and embody a confidence that the United States would soon become a great nation. He composed Sketches of American Policy at a time when the nationally minded segments of the political class were beginning to pursue plans to create a strong federal government to replace the Confederation Congress. Seeing this as a necessary step to ensure the nation's progress Webster endorsed this cause and wrote this pamphlet to promote it. During his tours throughout the states he presented to several people who would become delegates to the Constitutional Convention including George Washington James Madison and Benjamin Franklin. It circulated widely among the delegates and was an important influence in their debates. Interesting for this reason it is also valuable as a contemporary critique of the Articles of Confederation by a gifted scholar who associated with the leading statesmen of the day. unknown books
