| | | | Dates: | 1838 | | | | Abstract: | This volume contains a series of manuscript essays compiled by Joshua Francis Fisher and presented to the APS in the early 19th Century.

| 14 | Author: | Hazard, Ebenezer, 1744-1817 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Ebenezer Hazard papers, 1766-1813
| | | | Dates: | 1766-1813 | | | | Abstract: | The Ebenezer Hazard Collection contains a range of documents relating to the early history and establishment of the postal service in the new American nation.

| 15 | Author: | Logan, James, 1674-1751 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Selections from the correspondence of the Honourable James Logan, 1699-1750
| | | | Dates: | 1699-1750 | | | | Abstract: | These four volumes of letters are edited transcriptions of letters now at the HSP. The letters were edited by Deborah Norris Logan, who authored books on colonial Pennsylvania history in the nineteenth century. Although many of the letters are nearly complete, Norris occasionally summarizes content rather than transcribe it. There are some letters that are not from or to Logan, but were likely in his possession. Among those are letters from Conrad Weiser, Richard Peters, and Thomas Lee of Virginia. Although the letters are from 1674-1751, most are from the first quarter of the eighteenth century.

| 19 | Author: | Azambuja, Jacob Frederico Torl | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Memoria sobre o valor das moedas
| | | | Dates: | 1833 | | | | Abstract: | This bound volume contains an essay Jacob Frederico Torlade Pereira de Azambuja presented to the American Philosophical Society in 1833. Jacob Azambuja was the Portuguese charge d' affaires in the United States from 1829-1834. The essay describes the monetary history and system of Portugal. Presented after Andrew Jackson's election, banking and currency were important political topics at the time. This essay likely reflects the growing interest APS members had in the subject and in understanding alternative systems to the United States. The essay can offer insight into prevalent European ideas about currency and may offer insight into how these ideas may have influenced how Americans thought about reforming their system.
