1814 "HACK" LICENSE

Partially Printed Document. One page, 12" x 14 framed. The document reads, in part: " .. This is to certify that Daniel Bond of the town of Claremont in the County of Cheshire, in the Fourth Collection District of Newhampshire [sic], has paid the duty of Seven Dollars, for the year to end of the thirty first day of December next for and upon a four wheel carriage for the conveyance of persons … (other than a coach, chariot, or post-chaise, phaeton, or coachee, having panel work in the upper division thereof,) called a Hack owned by him … " The document also cites a July 24, 1813, Act of Congress which established that the tax would be used to help finance the War of 1812. Hack licenses from this era are rarely encountered. Slight separation at right fold. Else Very Fine. An attractive display piece.
