Title: President Millard Fillmore Appoints the U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain to Settle Claims the Two Nations Had Against Each Other
Author: Millard Fillmore
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 28/12/1852. In 1852, President Millard Fillmore appointed Joseph R. Ingersoll U.S. ambassador to Great Britain. At that time, trade was common between the nations, but so were difficulties. In the lead-up to the War of 1812 the British seized American ships, the owners of which had claims against the British government for their losses. By 1852, claims against the U.S. by British subjects and against Britain by Americans had accumulated and grown to the point that the two nations determined to work out a settlement of these claims.Document signed, Washington, December 28, 1852, giving Ambassador Ingersoll “a full power…to treat of and concerning claims of citizens of the United States upon the British government, and of and concerning claims of subjects of Her Britannic Majesty upon the government of the United States…” Doubtless shippers, manufacturers, and others engaged in trade benefited from the positive show of amity and friendship this settlement would have brought about.

Title: A Treatise on the Laws Regulating the Manufacture and Sale..
Author: Black, Henry Campbell
Seller: The Lawbook Exchange Ltd (United States)
Description: 1892. A Response to Contemporary Debates About Prohibition Black, Henry Campbell [1860-1927]. A Treatise on the Laws Regulating the Manufacture and Sale of Intoxicating Liquors. St. Paul: West Publishing Company, 1892. lii, 711 pp. Octavo (9" x 6"). Contemporary law calf, rebacked in period style. Blind frames to boards, raised bands and lettering piece to spine, hinges mended. Light rubbing to board edges, corners lightly bumped, light toning to text, offsetting to margins of endleaves. Small early bookseller stamp to front pastedown, interior otherwise clean. A handsome copy. $950. * Only edition. Black is best known as the author of the great law dictionary that bears his name, but he also wrote several highly regarded treatises. His treatise on alcoholic beverages, the first published in the United States, was a response to contemporary debates about prohibition, which were gaining in intensity in the late 1800s. Given this background it is not surprising that Black declared his neutrality at the end of his preface: "This book is not a plea for any particular system of liquor legislation. It is purely and solely a legal treatise. The law-writer has no more to do with the wisdom, justice, or expediency of the statutes whose legal effect he discusses than has the court which is called upon to administer them" (iv).
