[Philadelphia, 1800. 16pp. Stitched, disbound, untrimmed and uncut. Light toning, light inner margin wear. Else Very Good.
The 'Genius' was a ship owned by the New York City lawyer [and New York's 45th Mayor] Cadwallader Colden. It captured "a French armed ship called the Columbus, on the high seas as prize," pursuant to the 1798 Act of Congress authorizing such seizures in order to protect American commerce during the French-English war. The 'Genius' took the 'Columbus' "into a British port in the Island of Tortola, to be libelled and tried." The British Court of Vice Admiralty condemned 'Columbus' and ordered it sold.
Colden bought 'Columbus'. He then sold it to Stouffer and Wallace, who then sought to register it as an American vessel. Registration, however, was refused. Stouffer and Wallace claimed they were "misled" into believing that American registration would occur as a matter of course; they seek passage of a bill to accomplish that purpose. The Committee recommends denial of their Petition. The Report includes the proceedings at the Court of Vice Admiralty, several pages of Instructions for the Private Armed Vessels of the United States, and the relevant Act of Congress.
FIRST EDITION. Evans 38854. Cohen 14247. NAIP w021877 [9].

Description:
London: Andrews, 1848. Two volumes bound as one. [2], 212; [2], 219pp, [5]. With two terminal leaves of publisher's advertisements. Modern calf-backed marbled boards, tooled in gilt and blind. Bookplate of Robert J. Hayhurst to FEP, very occasional spotting. The second located copy of the second edition of an anonymous maritime novel; first published in 1821 under the title The privateer; a tale. The bulk of the narrative takes place ashore, in the Highlands of Scotland. The anonymous privateer of the title, who barely features, is possibly inspired by François Thurot (1727- 1760) a notorious French privateer who raided British shipping before and during the Seven Years' War. This appears to be a reissue of the sheets of the first edition, with cancel title pages. The advertisements to the rear of Vol. II, which announce the opening of J. Andrews's Library, 167 New Bond-Street, near Grafton-Street, and give subscription terms and regulations, remain unchanged from the first…

[Philadelphia: Printed by John Fenno, 1794].. 12pp. Printed self-wrappers, stitched. Blank impressions of scribbles on first leaf, light scattered foxing, marginal soiling, else very good. Untrimmed. Early Senate document printing diplomatic correspondence between the U.S., France, and Great Britain on the "vexations and spoliations" of American merchant ships by French and British privateers during the 1793- 94 war between Britain and France. Much of the pamphlet involves British policies of letters of marque against French ships and American vessels trading with French colonies, as detailed by U.S. Ambassador to Britain Thomas Pinckney and British War Secretary Henry Dundas. A letter by Joseph Fauchet, the French ambassador to the U.S., defends the French embargo and refutes charges of misconduct on the seas, to which Secretary of State Edmund Randolph's reply is also printed. The correspondence dates from Dec. 26, 1793, to April 3, 1794. A rare and interesting document of the diplomacy that helped…

Description:
[36] pp.Two dialogues discussing Dutch warships capturing Dunkirk privateers and merchant ships. Dunkirkers, serving the Spanish Navy, were a major threat to Dutch trade and shipping, taking hundreds of ships during the Dutch revolt. The present pamphlet discusses several commanders of warships, including the Zeeland captains Jacob Pense, Gerrit Verhagen, Jan Evertsen de Jonge and Jacob Verhelle, who captured no fewer than 30 Dunkirk ships in just one year. Jan Evertsen de Jonge was the son of the famous admiral Jan Evertsen, who had captured the infamous Duinkerk privateer Jacques Colaert in 1636 and later fought several battles in the first and second Anglo-Dutch war. The pamphlet concludes with a list of captured ships mentioned in the text. It seems to have been written to advocate the fitting out of more warships to protect Dutch (or more particularly Zeeland) trade.Spine damaged, otherwise in very good condition.l Den Zeusen Beesem 1062; Knuttel 5221.

[London, 1780].. Five documents, totaling [23]pp. Large folio sheets, folded into four panels, with docketing information on verso of final leaf. Minor soiling. Near fine. In a blue half morocco and cloth box. Court documents relating to the appeal case of the Massachusetts ship Nicholas, captained by Nathaniel Atkins, which was seized by the British while in port in Halifax in January 1776. Following the opening shots of the Revolutionary War, in April 1775, King George III passed an act prohibiting "all manner of trade and commerce" with the American colonies while they were in a state of open rebellion. The act further stated that any ship belonging to the colonies, with their cargoes, "which shall be found trading in any port or place in the said colonies, or going to trade or coming from trading in any such port or place," shall be subject to seizure. The Nicholas set sail in December 1774, prior to open rebellion, sailing to England and Europe, and finally back to Halifax a year later. She…
