The Preface, dated December 1828, explains that the author contributed this pamphlet to the New York Anti-Auction Committee, which sought to stamp out public auctions in New York. He argues that the auction "system holds out… strong temptations to violate integrity." Auctions are "paralyzing the efforts, and rendering futile the plans of regular merchants, by the constant fluctuations in the prices and qualities of goods." Not in Sabin, American Imprints, Rink, Eberstadt. OCLC locates a number of institutional copies.
