[War of Spanish Succession]: [Petit, Lewis]
EXTENSIVE MANUSCRIPT BOOK OF CORRESPONDENCE REPORTS AND OTHER MATERIAL RELATED TO THE BRITISH OCCUPATION OF MINORCA DURING THE WAR OF SPANISH SUCCESSION AND AN INVESTIGATION INTO ITS FINANCIAL AND MILITARY GOVERNANCE BY BRIGADIER LEWIS PETIT
Minorca Spain 1708-1713. 690pp. Thick quarto. Later three-quarter calf and marbled boards. Moderate wear to edges and spine extremities boards rubbed corners bumped. Small later ownership inscription on front pastedown. Light foxing and tanning marginal dust soiling. Composed in a neat legible hand. Very good. Untrimmed. A lengthy and highly detailed manuscript volume containing documents related to the British takeover of Minorca after its capture from Spain during the War of Spanish Succession and an investigation into the governance of the island. In September 1708 British forces occupied the Mediterranean island with little opposition the inhabitants and nobles having mostly supported the Anglo-Dutch designs for the Spanish throne. The inherent importance of the island as a military outpost and trading way point in the Mediterranean led the British to occupy it for the rest of the war and to receive it as a possession in the Treaty of Utrecht which ended the conflict in 1713.</p> <p>The documents collected here relate to the English Brigadier Lewis Petit who served as Lieutenant Governor and Chief Engineer of the island during its occupation. As Chief Engineer Petit was in charge of improving the fortifications and defenses of Minorca and although a Spanish ally was named as titular Governor Petit exercised the true authority over the island. Although his improvement plans may have been sound his management of the island's public moneys was suspect.</p> <p>"Petit somehow found time to enter into commercial speculations on his own account. In partnership with two Spaniards and Stanhope's secretary Arent Furley Petit purchased a French prize at Mahón for 7800 dollars with which to trade between Minorca Majorca Sardinia and the Spanish and Barbary coasts. He advised Furley that he had found it necessary to use funds supplied for the fortifications to complete the purchase and urgently requested capital from his partners to repay this misappropriation. Petit's participation was valuable to the enterprise owing to his ability to land cargoes at Mahón without paying duty an activity much objected to by the local town government.</p> <p>"Petit was soon to find himself under the scrutiny of the inspectors sent from London to investigate irregularities in the expenditure of the army in Spain as an attempt to disgrace the previous ministry.The accusations against him concerned imperfections in his accounts including allegations of missing vouchers irregularities and overcharging in the numbers of workmen and mules and alleged differences between prices contracted and prices paid among other charges" - DNB.</p> <p>The documents compiled here therefore relate principally to the investigation of those actions by a specially convened Board of Commissioners and contain Petit's written responses to specific inquiries about his expenditures. In transmitting these answers the reports provide a detailed perspective regarding the management of Minorca's finances defenses and engineering improvements under Petit's charge. Moreover in order to buttress or to undermine those claims voluminous correspondence financial figures construction reports testimonies affidavits and other material are reproduced that span the length of the British occupation of the island before it officially became a possession. As a result the manuscript documents contained here provide a thorough encapsulation of the economic and military situation on Minorca and the growth of its importance as a British outpost in the Mediterranean.</p> <p>A highly valuable set of manuscript documents that meticulously details the development and management of a British possession gained through the War of Spanish Succession worthy of much deeper research.

Carta de hum cidadam de Genova a hum seu correspondente em Londres. text begins: Entre os fataés eventos desta presente guerra .
n.pr. First Edition in Portuguese. 4° disbound. Caption title and four-line criblé initial on p. 1. In good to very good condition. 12 pp. First Edition in Portuguese signed in print at the end 15 December 1746. The anonymous author describes the oppression inflicted by the Austrians after they captured Genoa in September 1746 including sacking the city and imposing fines so heavy that the city had to hand over money from the Bank of St. George the city's leading financial institution. Trade was slowing to a trickle and travel was forbidden. The Austrian governor Antoniotto Botta d'Adorno was particularly harsh probably because his family had been expelled from Genoa some years earlier.On 5 December 1746 Austrian soldiers moving a mortar down the street saw it sink into a huge hole and when their leader tried to beat the Genoese bystanders into helping drag it out the Genoese pelted the soldiers with rocks. In short order the Genoese commandeered weapons from the armory and fought a series of other skirmishes driving the Austrians out of the city by 10 December pp. 6-10. By the author's estimate only 50 Genoese were killed or wounded; for the Austrians he says casualties topped 4000. In 1745 Genoa had reluctantly entered the War of the Austrian Succession 1740-1748 on the side of France and Spain. The next year the city was besieged by Austrians British and Genoa's mortal enemies the Sardinians. Abandoned by its allies Genoa surrendered to the Austrians in September 1746 but December 1746 saw the great popular uprising described here. One of the main goals of the Austrians during the 1747 campaign in Italy was to recapture Genoa which they failed to do.The War of the Austrian Succession began in 1740 with the death of Emperor Charles VI. It included several small conflicts: the War of Jenkins' Ear which began in 1739 King George's War in North America 1744-1748 and two Silesian wars finally ending in 1748 with the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle which mostly returned territories to the status quo ante.

Relaçam dos gloriosos successos que que sic conseguirão as Armas da grande Aliança em Humgria governadas pelo Marischal de Campo Conde de Heister em 13 de Junho. E da insigne victoria alcançada contra as armas do Elector de Baviera & delRey de França junto do Danubio pelas Tropas Cesareas governadas pelo Duque de Marleborough em 3 de Julho de 1704.
Na Officina de Miguel Manescal. 4° disbound. Two six-line woodcut initials woodcut tailpiece typographical ornaments. Clean and crisp. In good to very good condition. Early notation in ink in upper blank margin of title page "3 de Julho 704". 15 pp. FIRST and ONLY EDITION. Two separate but related accounts of events in the War of the Spanish Succession: the first deals with rebellion in Hungary in June 1704 the second with the Duke of Marlborough’s battle at Donauwörth in July.In Hungary the departure of Austrian troops to fight in the War of the Spanish Succession seemed a golden opportunity to make Hungary independent from Habsburg Austria. Rákóczi’s War of Independence 1703-1711 was led by Francis II Rákóczi who in June 1703 joined a group of 3000 Hungarians and Polish mercenaries referred to here as “Rascianos.†At the battle of Koronco on June 13 1704 the Hungarian rebel force under Francis Rákóczy II was defeated by troops loyal to the Holy Roman Emperor. This account gives details of the order of battle commanders troops movements deaths and injuries and the celebrations afterwards. By late September 1703 Rákóczi’s forces controlled most of the Kingdom of Hungary north and east of the Danube. However the victory of the Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim on August 13 1704 prevented Rákóczi from uniting with his Franco-Bavarian allies and ultimately the rebellion failed.The second part of this Relaçam pp. 9-15 begins on 22 June 1704 with the Duke of Marlborough joining his troops after a 400-km. march south from the Low Countries with the troops of Prince Louis of Baden. The English and Austrians fought Franco-Bavarian forces in several engagements on the Danube beginning with the battle of 2 July described here: the storming of the Schellenberg heights at Donauwörth “Schalembeg sobre Donaverthâ€. The victory earned at the cost of enormous casualties on both sides gave the Allies a base for provisions and access to a good river crossing. The Elector of Bavaria retreated to Augsburg.The list of those wounded is rather more detailed than usual in such accounts: for example Louis of Baden was wounded “em hum dedo de hum pé porem ligeiramente & sem o minimo perigo com tambem lhe matarão o cavalo.â€The Relaçam is an interesting contemporary reflection on the brilliant military stratagems of John Churchill Duke of Marlborough. Having moved his troops up the Rhine without signaling his true intentions to the enemy forces he turned eastward into Bavaria. Marching along the Danube the English and Austrian troops laid waste to the countryside and weakened the Bavarian forces which were later all but annihilated at Blenheim.

Pages 5-12 contain letters exchanged by the Duke of Marlborough the Three Estates of Brabant and the burgomeisters of Brussels. The battle pitted Marshal Villeroi and 60000 French Spanish and Bavarian troops against the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy leading an army of 60000 English Dutch and Danish troops. French casualties killed wounded and captured are variously estimated between 10000 and 30000; Allied casualties seem to have been under 4000.After the Battle of Ramillies most of the southern Netherlands declared for Charles III and many Spanish troops came to the Allies deserting France and Spainish supporters of Felipe V. The setbacks in 1706 were so great that Louis XIV sued for peace later in 1706. Innocêncio XVIII 233. Coimbra Miscelâneas 1936 7797 7798 8512 8705.

Relaçam da gloriosa e felicissima vitoria que o Duque de Marlborough e os aliados alcançaram dos Francezes & do Eleytor Duque de Baviera em 13 de Agosto de 1704 como consta por carta de Sua Excellencia escrita ao Secretario de Estado Harley no dia seguinte depois da Batalha & por outras mais noticias.

In good condition. 11 pp. lacking pp. 5-8. FIRST and ONLY EDITION incomplete but also quite rare. At the Battle of Blenheim 13 August 1704 the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy led English Dutch and Austrian troops to a decisive defeat of the French and Bavarian forces under Marshal Tallard and the Elector of Bavaria. At the beginning of that part of the text that remains is the Duke's report to Secretary of State Robert Harley pp. 3-5; ending was on p. 6. At page 8 it picks up with a count of the troops involved in the battle and lists of high-ranking French prisoners starting with Marshal Tallard and of battalions that surrendered.This was probably the most decisive victory in the War of the Spanish Succession 1701-1714; the victory saved Vienna and thus preserved the Habsburg Empire and the Grand Alliance. The French lost some 30000 men and the myth of the invincible French army was destroyed. Bavaria withdrew from the war it was soon placed under Austrian military rule and Louis XIV had to face the fact that he would not win an early easy victory.The march of John Churchill Duke of Marlborough from the Low Countries to the Danube culminating in the Battle of Blenheim was a model of planning logistics and tactical and operational skill. It assured Marlborough's status as one of the foremost military leaders of the age. Coimbra Miscelâneas 8673. Not in Innocêncio or Fonseca. Not located in Xavier da Cunha Impressões Deslandesianas.

The victory at Donauwörth gave the Allies a base for provisions and access to a good river crossing. At this point Tallard and the major French forces had not yet arrived in the area.

In early August a fleet under Lord Peterborough arrived and the French withdrew in haste leaving artillery ammunition food and other goods e.g. "pares de çapatos doze mil".D. Carlos’s attempts to improve relations with Barcelona’s people and government officials are given considerable space. The Miqueletes Catalan militiamen who supported the French are mentioned several times.The author not only reports military details but expresses strong opinions e.g. "Para esta empreza se valeo França daquella maxima que lhe vemos praticar com grande fruto … a qual consiste em exagerar as suas forças promettendo exercitos & Armadas formidaveis que depois na execução se vem serem muito inferiors; & assim publicou que poria sobre Barcelona hum exercito de mais de quartenta mil homens …." p. 4.Following the death of Carlos II of Spain without an heir Archduke Charles of Austria younger brother of Leopold I Holy Roman Emperor claimed the throne of Spain using the title Carlos III. Louis XIV of France put forward instead the claim of his grandson Philippe Duke of Anjou. The Grand Alliance supporting Charles included England most of the Holy Roman Empire and after 1703 Portugal. Carlos remained in Catalunya until 1711 when he returned to Germany as Carlos VI succeeding his brother Joseph I as Holy Roman Emperor. After the War of the Spanish Succession 1701-1714 Philippe reigned as Felipe V of Spain. Not in Innocêncio or Fonseca. OCLC: 19912251 Houghton Library Newberry Library.

The victory at Donauwörth gave the Allies a base for provisions and access to a good river crossing. At this point Tallard and the major French forces had not yet arrived in the area.

At the Battle of Blenheim here referred to as "Hochstet" i.e. Höchstädt on 13 August 1704 the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy led English Dutch and Austrian troops to a decisive defeat of the French and Bavarian forces under Marshal Tallard and the Elector of Bavaria. Pages 3-6 are a translation of the Duke’s report to Secretary of State Robert Harley. On pp. 6-7 is a letter from the Duke to his Duchess and pp. 7-9 is an announcement from Whitehall of the victory. The account ends with lists of high-ranking French prisoners starting with Marshal Tallard and of battalions that surrendered.The Battle of Blenheim was probably the most decisive victory in the War of the Spanish Succession 1701-1714; the victory saved Vienna and thus preserved the Austrian Empire and the Grand Alliance. The French lost some 30000 men and the myth of the invincible French army was destroyed. Bavaria withdrew from the war it was soon placed under Austrian military rule and Louis XIV had to face the fact that he would not win an early easy victory in the war.The march of John Churchill first Duke of Marlborough from the Low Countries to the Danube culminating in the Battle of Blenheim was a model of planning logistics and tactical and operational skill. It assured Marlborough's status as one of the foremost military leaders of the age. Not in Innocêncio or Fonseca. Not located in OCLC.

[WAR OF THE AUSTRIAN SUCCESSION].
Resposta a huma carta que certo cavalheiro escreveu a hum seu afeiçoado Austriaco querendo saber se o Principe Carlos havia repassado o Rheno. Por hum anonimo.
Na Offic. de Luiz Joze Correa Lemos. FIRST and ONLY EDITION. 4° unbound. Woodcut vignette with face of a cherub on title page. Uncut and partly unopened. A few small light stains to title page. Overall in good to very good condition. 14 pp. 1 blank l. FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this skilled exercise in rhetoric signed Lisbon September 27 1744. The author begins with a discussion of valor the definition of success what it is to have virtue and divine Providence p. 4. This sets the stage for what the anonymous author will develop on the determination of a just war and the atrocities suffered by the French. In the introductory pages the author draws erudite references to mythology with quotations in Latin from Ovid Livy Polybius and Tacitus pp. 4-7 expressing metaphorical allusions to the current situation of the War of the Austrian Succession more specifically of France’s disadvantages. The author uses the word “coward†or “cowardly†throughout with relation to the virtues of the Queen of Hungary Maria Theresa. This sentiment ultimately defines the author’s opinion of the queen but is concealed in erudition and intricate syntax.The author cleverly uses anaphora when describing the Hungarian troops “correm os Hungaros porque ao valor anda unida a celeridade correm ardendo nos seus nobres peitos o marcial espirito de que sao dotados. Correm desprezando os perigos da vida para conservarem sem susto que póde infundir-lhes alma. Correm a alentar o clarim da fama para que nem introduzam os inimigos intercadencias nos seus brados. Correm a fazer se retirem os contrarios a golpes dos seus alfanges; assim como aos rayos do Sol se retîram cobardes as sombras†pp. 6-7.Virulent criticism of the Hungarian kingdom begins most clearly when the author questions whether its subjects are engaged in a just war. The author does not believe it was necessary for the Queen of Hungary to begin a war in Alsace. “Meu Senhor o Deus dos exercitos pertendeu estorvar a Guerra no sentir de Tertuliano quando disse ao Apostolo S. Pedro que embaînhasse a sua espada. Querendo que os Catholicos sem causa gravissima nunca acendêssem o fogo da guerra…. Veja V. Senhoria se tem a Serenissima Rainha motivos para fazer a Guerra na França sendo huma potencia que quando lhe julgavamos frias as cinzas vaporizam as máximas hum Vesuvio de incendios†pp. 8-9.The author recalls how much the French have suffered in Germany their armies commanded by Maréchal Belle-Isle and the losses the French suffered in Bohemia and Austria p. 9. The descriptions of the losses become more gruesome with accounts of the number of French forces killed and taken prisoner since 1742.In the final pages pp. 10-14 the author tells of Prince Charles’ approach to the Rhine and the standoff with the French pp. 10-12. The conclusion ultimately shows the author’s ironic tone toward the situation of Prince Charles passing the Rhine and entering Alsace. For example the author leaves it up to Mars to decide if the glory was greater for the Prince’s troops to have arrived in Alsace or to have passed the Rhine p. 13 and he continues “Esta a verdade de hum sucesso que immortaliza dos AustrÃacos a fama. Estas as ventagens com quem andam cobardes as competencias†p. 13.Charles Alexandre duc de Lorraine 1712-1780 was one of the principal military commanders during the War of the Austrian Succession. He was defeated by Frederick the Great at the Battle of Chotusitz in 1742 and the Battle of Hohenfriedberg later in 1745. In the same year he married Maria Theresa of Austria's sister. He was later named governor of the Austrian Netherlands and Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights.The War of the Austrian Succession began in 1740 with the death of Emperor Charles VI. It included several small conflicts: the War of Jenkins' Ear which began in 1739 King George's War in North America 1744-1748 and two Silesian wars finally ending in 1748 with the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle which mostly returned territories to the status quo ante.

[WAR OF THE SPANISH SUCCESSION]
The Case of the Officers of Lieutenant General Hamilton's Late Regiment of Foot Subjects of Great-Britain Broke in the Service of the States General of the United Provinces caption title
London 1715. A petition to Parliament by the officers of Lieutenant General George Hamilton's Regiment of Foot seeking pay due for services abroad in the War of the Spanish Succession. Lord George Douglas-Hamilton 1666-1737 was a Scottish Williamite officer during the Glorious Revolution who later married William III's mistress Elizabeth Villiers became a confidant of William was created Earl of Orkney in 1696 was appointed Governor of Virginia in 1714 and in 1736 was the first British general promoted to the rank of Field Marshal. In 1701 at the beginning of the War of the Spanish Succession Hamilton led the First Regiment of Foot the Royal Scots to the Netherlands where the regiment fought for the remainder of the war. Despite their long service and the high position of Hamilton the officers suggest in the present petition that having been so long overseas they had been forgotten by the British government and charge that they had not received their pay even after frequent petitions. The document is an early example of lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715. ESTC records four copies two at the British Library one at Oxford and one at the National Library of Scotland. unknown

[WAR OF THE SPANISH SUCCESSION]
The Case of the Warrant Officers caption title
London 1715. Broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Ornamental initial. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Some foxing. A rare political leaflet petitioning Parliament for relief of warrant officers who had fought in the recent War of the Spanish Succession. In March 1715 the House of Commons ordered that a list of all the regimental and warrant officers be drawn up but by the time of this document's printing numerous warrant officers had not been entered into the list and rumors had begun to circulate that they would therefore not be receiving expected compensation for their service. "Besides the Nature of several of the Warrant Officers Posts was such as they could not be put on a Regimental List viz. Directors of Hospitals Commissaries Officers who have lost their Limbs and many other Officers whose particular Hardships Pretensions and Disappointments are more at large set forth and specify'd in their several Warrants. So that their Condition is very deplorable." This is among the earliest examples of lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715. ESTC lists only two copies at Oxford and the University of Missouri.<br/> <br/> Hanson 2212. unknown
