[DIDEROT (Denis), SHAFTESBURY (Anthony Ashley, comte de)]
Principes de la philosophie morale ; ou Essai de M. S*** [SHAFTESBURY] sur le mérite et la vertu. Avec Réflexions.
In-8 (164 x 105 mm), plein veau acajou moucheté de l'époque (164 x 105 mm), dos à 5 nerfs richement orné de compartiments fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièce de titre de maroquin bordeaux, filet à froid en encadrement des plats, filet doré sur les coupes, tranches rouges, xxx, 297 p., (1) bl., (9) p. de table et errata, (1) p. bl., (1) f. bl., 2 planches gravées hors texte, bandeaux gravés. Edition originale du premier essai philosophique du jeune Diderot, illustrée de 2 planches gravées hors texte, 1 fleuron et 2 vignettes de Durand gravés par Fessard. "Cet exercice auquel se livra Diderot sur un original anglais fut davantage une paraphrase qu'une traduction. C'est un travail fort important pour saisir l'évolution de sa pensée. Il s'agissait de 'An Inquiry concerning Virtue and Merit de Lord Shaftesbury' (...). Il y avait quelque danger à présenter au public français, un ouvrage qui affirmait aussi franchement l'existence d'une morale naturelle, indépendant des sanctions d'une religion ou d'une Eglise données" (Wilson, ‘Diderot’, p. 44). Sur cet ouvrage capital "pour saisir l'évolution de la pensée de Diderot", cf. A. Wilson, p. 43 sq. et Venturi, 'La jeunesse de Diderot', passim. (Adams, PY1. Cohen, 306. Tchemerzine-Scheler, II, 916). Quelques petites rousseurs. Petit ex-libris effacé au titre. Bel exemplaire, très frais, grand de marges (164 x 105 mm), dans sa première reliure de veau moucheté.

In-12, plein veau moucheté de l'époque, dos à nerfs orné de compartiments dorés, pièce de titre de maroquin rouge, tranches mouchetées (coiffe inf. et un coin usés, qqs épid.), (10), 274, (2) p., vignette de titre à la Sphère. "Nouvelle édition, revue & corrigée", parue un an après l'originale de cet ouvrage présenté comme une traduction de l’anglais, mais en fait œuvre en propre de l’abbé J.-B. Dubos L'auteur exhorte Angleterre à rester en dehors de la guerre de succession d'Espagne, à développer sa marine et à favoriser ses échanges commerciaux. Il analyse en détail les routes et marchandises échangées entre l’Angleterre et le reste du monde (Espagne et Portugal, Amérique, Guinée, France et Pays-Bas, Allemagne et Hollande, Méditerranée, etc.) en appuyant son analyse sur des statistiques chiffrées. L’ouvrage est célèbre pour prophétiser que les colonies britanniques d’Amérique se révolteraient un jour contre leur maître et acquérir leur indépendance. Historien, diplomate et habile négociateur, Dubos prit une part importante aux négociations de plusieurs traités de la période. Cet ouvrage, probablement de commande, a été réalisé sur ordre du gouvernement français qui avait fourni des renseignements alors inédits. (Einaudi, 1626. Goldsmiths, 'Online Catalog', 4038.

[ENGLAND & SPAIN - TREATY OF MADRID]. [Gaspar de BRACAMONTE] and William GODOLPHIN
A treaty for the composing of differences restraining of depredations and establishing of peace in America between the crowns of Great Britain and Spain. - Concluded at Madrid the 8/18th day of July in the year of our Lord 1670. Translated out of Latin.
London 1670. Small 4to. in the Savoy printed by the assigns of John Bill and Christopher Barker = Thomas Newcombe printers to the Kings most excellent Majesty Sewn. With a woodcut factotum and decorative bands built up from typographic ornaments the crowned rose harp leak - depicted by a fleur-de-lis - and thistle representing England Ireland Wales and Scotland. 1 1 blank 11 1 pp. English translation of the Treaty of Madrid dated 1670 also called the Godolphin Treaty between England and Spain. Adopted in July 1670 and ratified on 28 September it officially ended the so-called Anglo-Spanish War 1654-1660 in the Caribbean. The open warfare between England and Spain caused by commercial rivalry had already ended in 1660 after six years of attacking each others commercial and colonial interests but the tension in the Caribbean caused conflict for ten more years. The war officially ended with two peace treaties signed at Madrid: the first dated 1667 and the present second dated 1670. The name Godolphin Treaty derives from William Godolphin 1635-1696 an English diplomat for Charles II and a member of Parliament. The negociations for this treaty between him and the Spanish representative Gaspar de Bracamonte Guzmán ca. 1595 - 1676 a Spanish statesman and count of Peñaranda who also played an important role in the famous Peace of Münster 1648 between France and the Holy Roman Empire started in the autumn of 1669. We can find those names at the end of the treaty.The present treaty was reprinted alone in 1698 printed by Charles Bill and the executrix of Thomas Newcomb deceasd printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty ESTC R223888.Lacking A1 the title-page verso blank and the final blank leaf but otherwise complete so with no loss in the text of the treaty. Paper a little frayed around the edges first and last page a little dust-soiled but otherwise in good condition.

[ENGLAND & DUTCH REPUBLIC - TREATY].
Traitté dalliance defensive entre lAngleterre et les Estats Generaux conclu le 3. Mars 1678.
Cologne recté: Amsterdam 1680. 4to. Pierre Marteau" 19th-century brown paper wrappers. With the woodcut English royal arms on the title-page. 8 pp. Extremely rare pamphlet with the text - in French - of the Anglo-Dutch defensive alliance of 3 March 1678. In May 1672 French forces had invaded the Dutch Republic and initially seemed to have achieved an overwhelming victory the so-called Rampjaar 1672. England supported France in what became the Second Anglo-Dutch maritime war 1672-1674. By late July 1672 however the Dutch position had stabilized thanks to the new Stadholder Willem III. Concern about French gains led to the August 1673 Treaty of the Hague between the Republic Brandenburg-Prussia the Emperor Leopold and King Charles II of Spain; in early 1674 England and the Dutch made peace in the Treaty of Westminster. In November 1677 Willem III married his cousin Mary niece of King Charles II of England. In the meantime peace talks had begun in 1676 in Nijmegen resulting in an Anglo-Dutch defensive alliance concluded on the 3rd of March 1678 almost a half year before the treaty was signed in August. But English troops arrived in significant numbers only in late May allowing King Louis XIV to improve his negotiating position by capturing Ghent on the same day the alliance was concluded on 3 March.Untrimmed and with bolts unopened. In good condition.l Muller 7609; STCN 160843154 2 copies; not in Knuttel; VD17. unknown

"What darker or more dreary calamity could threaten any nation or people on earth than the successful establishment of a Republic whose corner-stone shall be 'that the negro is not equal to the white man and that slavery- subordination to the superior race- is his natural and normal condition'."<br /> Bartlett 3040.

The book "a curious study" of British elite opinion is a commentary on articles from British intellectuals which had supported the Confederacy. The author's close examination of British public opinion is a scathing condemnation of British turpitude. <br /> These were "undeniably able and dextrous writers and politicians who to please the public for whom they wrote and spoke opposed ridiculed and contemned our people and our government during the tremendous struggle for the worthy and honorable existence of our country.

Good.<br /> <br /> Potter was the President of the Society a British organization based in Manchester and supporting the North in its war against Slavery. The pamphlet reports on "a very interesting conversazione" concerning Dr. Massie's trip to America. <br /> He met with President Lincoln "a man of integrity whose word is to be believed whenever he speaks. I came away with the conviction that he is the friend of the negro and the man of colour and that he has a firm resolution that whatever power he has shall be constitutionally exerted for the emancipation of every slave in the United States." Massie also met with Seward "again and again" and with Chase and other civil and military leaders all of whom favorably impressed him.<br /> "The day is not far off when the coloured regiments of America will be the safeguard of her negro freedom and the security for all the freedom that belongs to men of whatever colour" <br /> Not in LCP Bartlett Dumond Monaghan or Sabin.

Liverpool 1864. 24pp. Disbound with wrapper remnants along spine. Good.<br /> <br /> Siemms says "Without any previous intention of being a soldier either in the army of the North or South yet I found myself one fine day an officer in the army of the Southern Confederacy." He gives some details of his unit's movements and briefly discusses different engagements while noting his frustration at the North's exaggeration in reporting its successes. His war experience was brief: "My military life ended" when he was taken prisoner "at Bull's run" and held as a prisoner until the British flag brought his release. <br /> Presenting himself as something of an expert he says "the negroes are far better off than a certain class of poor people in many European countries." He says 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' is filled with exaggeration and "downright untruths." He exposes "the false pretence that the North was fighting for liberty" and says the press has greatly exaggerated the North's progress in the field.<br /> Frederick David Samson Siemms 1844-1907 was born in England but it is unclear how he ended up in the United States or fighting for the Confederate Army. His military records show that he enlisted on May 13 1861 at the age of 17 years for a period of 12 months as a private with 1st Artillery Virginia Confederate with Capt. Johnson H.

A very handsome set some hinges starting the textblocks clean fresh crisp and unpressed. RARE FIRST EDITION COMPLETE OF THIS IMPORTANT HISTORY OF ENGLAND FROM THE FIRST INVASION OF THE ROMANS PRESENTED IN HANDSOME CONTEMPORARY BINDINGS. John Lingard 5 February 1771 – 17 July 1851 was an English Roman Catholic priest and historian the author of The History of England From the First Invasion by the Romans to the Accession of Henry VIII an eight-volume work published in 1819. Lingard was a teacher at the English College at Douai and at the seminary at Crook Hall and later St. Cuthbert's College. In 1811 he retired to Hornby in Lancashire to continue work on his writing. <br> The principal object of his major work The History of England is to emphasise the disastrous effects of the Reformation. The book was later expanded by the author and the title changed to reflect the period covered. As each additional volume appeared the History's reputation increased while Lingard continued to revise and improve the whole work.<br> Lingard himself argued that one of his chief duties as an historian was: "to weigh with care the value of the authorities on which I rely and to watch with jealousy the secret workings of my own personal feelings and prepossessions. Such vigilance is a matter of necessity to every writer of history . Otherwise he will be continually tempted to make an unfair use of the privilege of the historian; he will sacrifice the interests of truth to the interests of party national or religious or political." J. Lingard "History of England" vol 1 6th edition London: Charles Dolman 1854 p. 6.<br> Lingard adopted a non-controversial and sober approach to history with the emphasis on incontrovertible fact and using primary rather than secondary sources. Lingard's History is also an apt demonstration of the advantages a Catholic historian of the time may have had in terms of impartiality. Lingard's religion had to a large extent isolated him from the mainstream nationalism which surrounded Protestant historians as well as from the growing "providentialist" concept of history. Lingard's strength of argument however continued to be popular and the influence of Protestant animosity for Catholic apologetic also led him to develop a keen critical judgment. He was devoted to absolute accuracy and detail and the History was a groundbreaking work in its use of primary sources. Lingard made extensive use of Vatican archives and French Italian Spanish and English dispatches document collections and state papers – the first British historian to do so. The peripheral nature of English Catholicism put him in a position of "outside observer" to much of English intellectual culture and this is reflected in his historical works. Despite this distancing effect however Lingard maintained an active interest in politics all his life and was a noted pamphleteer. <br> History of England is a substantial scholarly work which gave full treatment to the history of England. From 1811 until his death in 1851 Lingard spent most of his life in the village of Hornby near Lancaster where he devoted himself to his study and writing. A quiet gentle man he was well liked by the residents. Lingard's popularity as an historian had its day but his contribution to historical method came at a critical point in British intellectual history. Printed for J. Mawman in Ludgate Street; Printed for Baldwin and Cradock, Paternoster-Row and Joseph Booker, New Bond Street hardcover

FIRST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT BIOGRAPHY OF EDWARD III WITH FINELY ENGRAVED PLATES. Edward III 1312–1377 was King of England from January 1327 until his death in 1377. He is noted for his military success and for restoring royal authority after the disastrous and unorthodox reign of his father Edward II. Edward III transformed the Kingdom of England into one of the most formidable military powers in Europe. His fifty-year reign is one of the longest in English history and saw vital developments in legislation and government in particular the evolution of the English Parliament as well as the ravages of the Black Death. He outlived his eldest son Edward the Black Prince and was succeeded by his grandson Richard II.<br> Edward was crowned at age fourteen after his father was deposed. After a successful campaign in Scotland he declared himself rightful heir to the French throne starting the Hundred Years' War 1337–1453. Following some initial setbacks this first phase of the war went exceptionally well for England and would become known as the Edwardian War. Victories at Crécy and Poitiers led to the highly favourable Treaty of Brétigny 1360 in which England made territorial gains and Edward renounced his claim to the French throne. <br> Edward was temperamental and thought himself capable of feats such as healing by the royal touch as some prior English kings did. He was also capable of unusual clemency. He was in many ways a conventional medieval king whose main interest was warfare but he also had a broad range of non-military interests. Admired in his own time and for centuries after. modern historians credit him with significant achievements. <br> Complete copies of this great work on Edward are rare. Most lack all or some of the engraved plates or are rebound. Printed by John Hayes for the Author hardcover

"The Eliot Arms or Square & Compass Square and Compass Tregadilett was once a Freemason’s Lodge for French prisoners of war on parole in Launceston: History supplied by R. F. Gilbert The original building was built in the 14th century and it became a coaching inn during 1625. The Inn fell into disarray in the early 19th century becoming a blacksmith’s shop until 1840 when it reverted back to a pub and the second name ‘Eliot Arms’ was added. The French POW’s lodge is thought to have existed for five to seven years of the war and this is shown by two certificates of ‘The Lodge Consulate Maconne’ dated 1762 and 1763; one in French and one in English issued to Robert Martin organist at St Mary Magdalene Church.
