About this Item
Description:
Small folio broadside. Dbd. Stab holes from earlier binding. A few instances of light foxing, else near fine, untrimmed. Official printing of a Congressional resolution relating to international commerce during the war between France and Great Britain. In March 1794, responding to increasingly frequent British depredations against American merchant ships, Congress passed a one-month embargo on all foreign shipping, which was extended in April. The present resolution authorizes the President to grant clearances for currently loaded American ships to sail with their goods, provided they not unload cargo before reaching the Cape of Good Hope. "Approved - May the seventh 1794," and signed in print by Speaker of the House Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg, Vice President John Adams, and President George Washington. ESTC records only four copies: two at the American Antiquarian Society, one at the John Carter Brown Library, and one at the Library of Congress.
