Shaw & Shoemaker 16408. cfSabin 11823 (pp. 7). A collection of eight pamphlets relating to international law and the violation of American neutrality during the Napoleonic Wars. The correspondence and reports relate specifically to the attack on the American frigate, the Chesapeake, off the coast of Virginia by a British ship of war, the Leopard, in June of 1807, and the impressment of members of its crew into the service of the British Navy. The Secretary of State writes: "Were it allowable that British subjects should be taken out of American vessels on the high seas, it might at least be required that the proof of their allegiance should lie on the British side. This obvious and just rule is however reversed, and every seaman on board, though going from an American port and sailing under an American flag, and sometimes even speaking an idiom proving him to not be a British subject, is presumed to be such, unless shewn to be an American citizen. It may safely be affirmed that this is an outrage and an indignity which has no precedent.". The United States attempted to protect its waters and nationals by passing the Embargo Act of 1807 which closed American ports and banned American ships from going to sea. Frequent interception of American ships to impress American citizens was a major cause of the War of 1812.
