An Answer To Mr. Jefferson’s Justification Of His Conduct In The Case Of The New Orleans Batture is a historical book written by Edward Livingston in 1813. The book is a response to Thomas Jefferson’s justification of his conduct in the case of the New Orleans Batture. The Batture was a strip of land near the Mississippi River that was the subject of a legal dispute between the United States government and private landowners.Livingston argues that Jefferson’s conduct in the case was unjust and that he acted in his own personal interest rather than in the interest of the public. The author provides a detailed account of the legal proceedings and the arguments put forth by both sides. He also explores the broader implications of the case for property rights and the role of the government in regulating land use.The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the legal and political debates of the early 19th century. It provides valuable insights into the thinking of prominent figures such as Jefferson and Livingston and their views on property rights and the role of government in regulating land use. Overall, An Answer To Mr. Jefferson’s Justification Of His Conduct In The Case Of The New Orleans Batture is a must-read for anyone interested in American legal and political history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
