About This Item
Boston: Printed by David Carlisle., 1807. 62pp. Disbound, blank inner margin of title and last leaf browned; blank outer margin of title leaf reinforced. Good+.
Examining international law and the Chesapeake affair, Everett concludes that England's firing upon the Chesapeake and imprisoning its crew members-- alleged deserters from British ships-- was "piracy."
Should England fail "to make reparation, or to punish the offenders, she becomes partaker of the crime, and gives to America undoubted and just cause of war." Fortunately England did make reparations and war, for a time, was avoided.
FIRST EDITION. Cohen 7472. Sabin 23242. I Harv. Law Cat. 657.
