Philadelphia. Admitted to the bar in 1787, he began practice at Wilmington, Del. Bayard, a prominent Federalist, played a leading part in securing Thomas Jefferson's election as President over Aaron Burr in 1801. Of an independent mind, he, unlike other Federalists, supported the Nonimportation Act of 1806 and the War of 1812, although he had used all his influence to prevent hostilities. In 1814 he served on the commission that negotiated the Treaty of Ghent ending the War of 1812.

Donnan, Elizabeth Documents Illustrative of the History of the Slave Trade to America. III. New England and the Middle Colonies.
Washington Carnegie Institution of Washington 1932 First Edition Softcover Good
Xiv, 553 pages, tables, wrappers, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. Volume III only. From the preface: "The present volume, as was suggested in the preface to this series, presents material relating to the traffic which originated in or brought slaves to the Continental Colonies . . . The present work deals with the traffic of New England and the Middle Colonies, and leaves to a fourth volume the documents relating to the Southern Colonies. " From American Heritage Magazine of June 1965 (Volume 16, Issue 4) , Horror Taken For Granted, by Bruce Catton: "Let it be said at once that this is not easy reading. It is a scholarly compilation, meant for the library rather than for the living-room bookshelf. As the title says, it is made up almost entirely of the original documents, with a minimum of connective comment by the editor. It is the record of the slave trade as written by the men who were part of it-kings, governors, parliaments, legislatures, ship captains, factors, directors of joint-stock companies, and ordinary individual businessmen-and although it is a record of horror it has an odd, matter-of-fact air about it simply because the infamies that are described were so completely taken for granted. " ; Ex-Library; 553 pages

Washington Carnegie Institution of Washington 1930 First Edition Softcover Good
X, 495 pages, 1 folding map, wrappers, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. Volume I only. Carnegie Institution of Washington publication 409. From the preface of Volume I: "The traffic to the thirteen colonies, to the West Indies, and to Spanish America was so closely interwoven that to a certain extent it seemed necessary to treat it as a whole. In volumes I and II this is attempted, though the emphasis has been placed upon the English trade to the British West Indies. The first volume deals with the traffic in slaves from the time it became a part of European commerce until the end of the 17th century; the second volume is to carry the account through the 18th century to the year 1807, when British and American legislation alike outlaws the trade; the third volume shifts the emphasis from the history of the trade to the connection of the Thirteen Colonies with that trade. ... Both printed and manuscript sources have been utilized.
