The Fisheries Dispute: A Suggestion For Its Adjustment By Abrogating The Convention Of 1818, And Resting On The Rights And Liberties Defined

""The Fisheries Dispute"" is a book written by John Jay in 1887, which suggests a solution to the ongoing fisheries dispute between the United States and Great Britain. The author proposes that the Convention of 1818, which established fishing rights for both countries in the North Atlantic, be abolished and instead rely on the rights and liberties defined in the Treaty of 1783. This treaty, which ended the American Revolution, granted the United States exclusive fishing rights in certain areas. Jay argues that the Convention of 1818 is unfair to the United States and that the Treaty of 1783 should be the basis for resolving the dispute. The book provides a detailed analysis of the history of the dispute and the legal arguments for Jay's proposed solution. It is an important historical document that sheds light on a significant diplomatic issue in the late 19th century.A Letter William M.
