Excerpt from The Reciprocity Treaty, Between the United States and Great Britain of June, 5, 1854: Report of a Special Committee of the Boston Board of Trade Submitted and Adopted Jan. 2, 1865 and Ordered to Form a Part of the Eleventh Annual Report The following Report of the Special Committee on the Reciprocity Treaty, was submitted to, and accepted by, the Boston Board of Trade, as a part of the Eleventh Annual Report, previous to the pas sage of the Resolution of Congress declaratory to Great Britain of the intention of the United States to terminate the same, in accord ance with the provisions of the Fifth Article. But since this action of Congress does not preclude negotiation to revise and continue the Treaty, or to conclude a new one, the reasons here presented against abrogation, may be of service to persons who have not examined the subject with care, and to those who are unacquainted with the long and angry controversies between the two Governments, relative to the Colonial Trade and the Fisheries.
