According to New York City directories, Van Pelt and Spear were printing at 95 Pearl Street in 1821 and 1822. On p. 11, the author refers to "the Memorial of the Auctioneers of the City of New-York, presented to Congress at its last session, as an argument in favor of the Auction System." That memorial was communicated to the Senate, 16th Congress, 2d session, on Jan. 4, 1821, therefore this pamphlet was probably written later in 1821, after the seesion had adjourned in March.
