A propos de cet article

Original publisher's beige paper wrappers. Text printed in black ink. 5" x 8 1/4." Eighty-four pages, complete. Tipped-in folding documents included. Pages are clean and intact overall except for moderate browning and faint offsetting (from text) throughout, chipping along spine, and some of the string from binding coming loose along spine. A Very Good copy. This is a report containing reprinted correspondence and documents from the Commissioners of the Navy Pension Fund and Secretary of the Navy B. W. Crowninshield. The report begins with correspondence from Crowninshield, speaking on behalf of the Commissioners, in which he summarizes recent developments relating to the Navy Pension Fund and the pensioners. There are several requests he makes to Congress about the fund such as improving accountability of the fund and transactions made by the prize agents, making logistical improvements to the disbursements, and allowing for increased pensions for disabled war veterans. The report also contains Papers A-E which are summarized as follows: "Paper A, which shows the amount of stock on the books of the treasury in the credit of the commissioners. Paper B--Statement of bank stock belonging to the fund. Paper C--Account of the commissioners with Thomas T. Tucker, esq. treasurer of the fund. Paper D--Abstract of warrants drawn by the secretary of the navy on the treasurer of the fund, from the first of January 1815, to the 31st December inclusive. Paper E--List of navy pensioners, with the pension allowed to each." The report may relate to the War of 1812 or another recent or contemporary war of that period. Benjamin Williams Crowninshield (1772-1851) was an American politician. He served as the 5th Secretary of the Navy during the administrations of President James Madison and President James Monroe from 1815-1818. He later served as a United States Representative from Massachusetts from 1823-1831.…
