Beaumarchais, a wealthy French merchant, was a strong proponent of aiding the Americans during the Revolution. He was instrumental in obtaining and transporting arms and ammunition for the Americans under the firm name of Roderique Hortalez & Co. However, there was some confusion about whether the supplies were gifts from the French government, and Beaumarchais was never properly compensated. His heirs were finally paid $800,000 in 1835, only a portion of the actual amount owed Beaumarchais. This pamphlet relates to ongoing investigations of the Beaumarchais claims, at a time when the United States government believed its debt to be only $41,119.75. Scarce. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 11704.

[Philadelphia, 1800].. 12pp. Dbd. Slight age-toning, else very good. A detailed report by a House committee responding to a Senate bill intended to resolve disputed elections of the president and vice president of the United States. Essentially rewriting the Senate's proposed version, this House version recommends the appointment of a joint committee, consisting of members of the Senate and the House, with the power to examine all disputes concerning these elections, including the role of the members of the Electoral College. The final recommendation is to change the title of the bill to read simply: "An act prescribing the mode of counting the votes for President and Vice-President of the United States." Evidence of early attempts in the Federal period to resolve disputed elections, this REPORT is of particular interest, as it was written as the voting (which lasted from April to October) began in the disputed presidential election of 1800 in which Thomas Jefferson defeated John Adams.
