About This Item
Boston, Mass: Greenough and Stebbins, 1807. First Edition. Removed. Good. Octavo, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2." pp. 43. Removed from a book of pamphlets. Original stab-holes present. Title-page browned with light damp-stains in upper and lower left-hand corners, seeped through first 5 leaves. Leaves 2-3 fully detached. Pages lightly tanned throughout with sharp print on clean paper. (Sabin 42455). This pamphlet by a "Yankee farmer" was penned by John Lowell, a notable member of the Federalist Party. The Chesapeake Affair of 1807 was a naval skirmish between the British warship HMS Leopard and the American frigate USS Chesapeake. The British ship launched an attack against and boarded the Chesapeake, allegedly in search of British deserters. The affair fanned the flames of British-American tensions and eventually led to President Thomas Jefferson's Embargo of 1807. Both the Chesapeake Affair and the Embargo are viewed as precipitating events to the War of 1812. (Wikipedia).
