Early American History Note
Although Du Ponceau is most well-known today for his work in Native American linguistics, the Du Ponceau Collection includes a significant amount of correspondence from Du Ponceau's legal career in the nineteenth century (B D92p). This volume on the freedom of the seas reflects Du Ponceau's legal work in international trade.
