Description
(Boston): (From the press of John Eliot), (1810). First edition. The subject of this pamphlet centers around a naval engagement in 1809 between the British "HMS Leopard" and the American frigate "USS Chesapeake." The "Leopard" attacked, and boarded the American frigate, looking for deserters from the Royal Navy. "Chesapeake" was unprepared and after a short battle, James Barron surrendered his ship to the British. Four crew members were removed from the American vessel and were tried for desertion, and one of them was subsequently hanged. Naturally, this did not sit well with Americans. However, the British did not back down, insisting on their right to seize deserters from the Royal Navy, even if they were on American ships. It was a key incident in the background of the War of 1812. This copy has been to the wars, as well. The front board and two leaves are detached but present, and there are numbers stamped on the margins of the title page. See Sabin 94678, who notes, "Caption title. Imprint from colophon. Attributed to Benjamin Vaughan in Williamson's Bibliography of Maine, 10,117 Ex-lib New England Hist. Gen. An excellent candidate for a rebind, with the gold-lettered backstrip present. Partially unopened.. 23 cm. 115 pp.
