About This Item
New York: Bartlett & Welford, 1846. Disbound. near Very Good binding. Octavo. 75, [1] pp. Removed from volume. Last leaf with two mended closed tears to the inner margin, one extending into the text (no loss); vertical fold through the first several leaves. Still, a reasonably nice, clean copy.
This edition was preceded by a Washington imprint of the same year under the title "Letters . . . on the Oregon Question." Howes calls this present New York edition, the "best edition." Both England and the U.S. laid claim to the Oregon territory. Gallatin reviews the history and the nature of the claims, hoping to influence popular opinion and convince the negotiators of the merits of the U.S. position. Eberstadt writes, "[Gallatin] and Richard Rush represented the U.S. in the negotiation of 1818 with Great Britain on the Question of title to the Northwest Coast and of the boundary west of Lake of the Woods. . . . His statement of the case is regarded as one of the ablest on the subject" Eberstadt 104-238. Howes G-25; Sabin 26391; Brinley Sale 4686.
