Crowninshield; Additional material signed (in print) John Heath, I. Chauncey, O.H. Perry. Oliver Hazard Perry (1785 1819) was an American naval commander, born in Rhode Island. Oliver was the best-known and most prominent member of the Perry family naval dynasty, and he was older brother of Commodore Matthew C. Perry. Perry served in the West Indies during the Quasi War of 17981800 against France, in the Mediterranean during the Barbary Wars of 18011815, and in the Caribbean fighting piracy and the slave trade, but is most noted for his heroic role in the War of 1812 during the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie. For leading American forces in a decisive naval victory at the Battle of Lake Erie, Perrry received a Congressional Gold Medal and the Thanks of Congress. For Perry, the post-war years were marred by controversies. In 1815, he commanded Java in the Mediterranean during the Second Barbary War. While moored in Naples, Perry slapped the commander of the ship's Marines, Captain John Heath, whom Perry considered incompetent and insubordinate. The ensuing court-martial found both men guilty, but levied only mild reprimands. After the crew returned home, Heath challenged Perry to a pistol duel, which was fought on October 19, 1817, on the same field in Weehawken, New Jersey where Aaron Burr shot and killed Alexander Hamilton. Heath fired first and missed. Perry declined to return fire, satisfying the Marine's honor.

He lived in Winchester, Virginia, most of his adult life, heading a private law school there, and served as head of the Virginia Court of Appeals, 1831-1841, and as professor of law at the University of Virginia, 1841-1845. Facing the title page is written enigmatically, probably in another hand, "For the Winchester Triumvirate.

Perry, the War of 1812 naval hero, clashed with the marine captain while serving as commander of the Java on a Mediterranean cruise. The court martial, reported here, resulted in a reprimand for both officers and a later duel between the pair that resulted in no injuries. The second pamphlet reports on progress between the United States and Spain as negotiations toward the cession of Florida were conducted by John Quincy Adams and Luis de Onis. Though various members of the Tucker family possessed large libraries, books owned by them are uncommon in trade.
