$800 · Offered by William Reese Company

A COMPLETE COLLECTION OF THE TREATIES AND CONVENTIONS AT PRESENT SUBSISTING BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN & FOREIGN POWERS; SO FAR AS THEY RELATE TO COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION; TO THE REPRESSION AND ABOLITION ... The first printing of the first two volumes of a set that would eventually stretch to twelve volumes and cover the years up to 1871. Of obvious New World importance, this collection contains information from many treaties, including the Treaty of Ghent ending the War of 1812 and a commercial treaty with the United States of 1815. Several of the treaties deal with the suppression of the slave trade, a frequent component of most British treaties of the early 19th century. The treaties are listed in order by nation, and then chronologically.
