Early American History Note

Sometime in the 19th Century, Stephen Du Ponceau translated Ferdinando Galiani’s famous tract on the laws of neutrality. These two bound volumes of Galiani's work appear to be in Du Ponceau’s hand and bound within the text are long and detailed notes on the work. Du Ponceau’s interest likely had to do with his legal career that dealt with issues of international trade, a focus that is a prominent part of Du Ponceau’s papers at the APS.
