A propos de cet article

8vo. 23cm, first edition, 15pp., original printed self wraps, printed in double-columns, printing fault, title page mis-alined, and loose otherwise a fine copy. (Atl). T.P.L. 4414. Sabin 33313. Casey 3233. Lande S-2451. An eloquent speech, that was noted in relieving some of the hostility held by both countries to reciprocal free trade. "The Reciprocity Treaty was a special arrangement upon both countries by a long frontier, by the proximity of rich fishing grounds, and by the difficulty of drawing accurate and recognized boundaries upon the sea. while your vessels have swarmed in our waters for the past nine years, carrying off enormous values every year, we have not sent a vessel south during all that time, or caught a single cargo of fish on the coast, or in the bays of the United States."
