Notes:

Title from caption.

"The following is the first exposition made to the public on this subject, and was published in the Morning Herald on the 17th of August, 1829. Further expositions have since been made ..."--Page [1].

The author identifies himself as having been held up to ridicule as "one of the few clamorous woollen manufacturers, who was striving to destroy commerce and the importing merchants." This is possibly Peter H. Schenck, prominent New York City merchant, woolen manufacturer, and author of another pamphlet on the subject of customs fraud in New York entitled "Frauds on the revenue, addressed to the people of the United States, and to their representatives in Congress" (New York, 1830).
