Original plain boards, uncut.‎

‎Une comparaison statistique détaillée entre les importations et les exportations de la Grande-Bretagne et des États-Unis entre 1700 et 1783. Holroyd a continuellement révisé et élargi son texte à travers un certain nombre d'éditions anglaises. Il mentionne l'importance croissante du commerce avec les Antilles et le Canada, notamment Terre-Neuve et la Nouvelle-Écosse, leurs pêcheries, leur bois d'uvre et leur construction navale. Les tableaux comparent les exportations et importations du commerce entre les États-Unis et dautres pays. Cette première traduction de l'anglais fut de Rumare, magistrat de Rouen. La traduction ultérieure de Mirabeau ne comprenait pas les tableaux statistiques. Sabin 32638 mentionne une édition de Londres et une édition de Rouen de 237 p. Howes (Hartley) H604 note que l'ouvrage « a souligné avec mépris la position impuissante du commerce américain et a ainsi influencé l'élaboration de la politique commerciale de l'Angleterre de 1783 à 1789, si préjudiciable au commerce et aux intérêts maritimes américains qu'elle a grandement contribué à la formation d'un LUnion fédérale est mieux à même que les États fédérés séparés de riposter contre la puissance maritime britannique. Provenance : bibliothèque privée au dos, ex-libris d'Alberto Parreño. 1 vol. in-4° of: vi, (7)-228 p., 16 tables as follows: I-II 1 folding l. each, III: 5 pp. and 2 fold. ll., IV-VII: 1 folding l. each, VIII: 1 l., IX: 24 p., X: 1 fold. l., XI: 1 l., XII-XVI: 1 p. each, pp. [231]-238. Original plain boards, uncut. First French edition. A detailed statistical comparison between the imports and exports of Great Britain and the United States between 1700 to 1783. Holroyd continually revised and enlarged his text through a number of English editions. He mentions the growing importance of trade with the West Indies and Canada, especially Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, their fisheries, lumber, and shipbuilding. The tables compare the export and import of trade between the United States and other countries. This first translation from the English was by de Rumare, a magistrate of Rouen. Mirabeaus later translation did not include the statistical tables. Sabin 32638 mentions a London and a Rouen edition of 237 p. Howes (Hartley) H604 notes the work Pointed out superciliously the helpless position of American commerce, and thus influenced the shaping of Englands trade policy from 1783 to 1789, so detrimental to American commerce and shipping interests as to contribute greatly to the formation of a Federal union, better able, than were the separate federated states, to retaliate against British maritime might.

It is a long and comprehensive book with most emphasis on what he saw, rather than on botany.'

‎HOMANN JOHANN BAPTIST.‎

‎Nova Territori Erfordien in Suas Prefecturas.‎

‎Nuremberg.: Johann Baptist Homann. 1717. A beautifully engraved hand coloured map of North East Germany showing the area around Erfurt in detail. In the centre of the map is a small plan of Erfurt which is also shown as a panoramic view at the foot of the map and titled 'St. Petersburg'. An elaborate decorative title cartouche in the lower right corner depicts allegorical figures surrounded by the produce of the land including sheaves of wheat; a beehive; and a cornucopia of fruits. Cherubs holding a coat of arms float up from the scene on the right while on the lower left a centaur sits meditatively beneath a pine tree amongst slaughtered cattle. Physical features of the area are illustrated and farming areas shown by fields which criss-cross across the map. A clear dark impression the work of an outstanding German cartographer who in 1715 was appointed as imperial geographer by Emperor Charles VI. This map also includes "Schwan See" Swan Lake under a town of the same name which has since disappeared. Hand coloured two very minor splits at upper and lower edges on centre fold and not affecting engraved area a handsome map 54 x 61.5 cm. . [Johann Baptist Homann.] unknown‎

‎HOMANN Johann Baptist‎

‎Nova Anglia Septentrionali Americae implantata Anglorumque coloniis florentissima Geographica exhibita‎

‎- Nuremberg s.d. (circa 1716), 61,4x53cm, une feuille rempliée. - Nova Anglia Septentrionali Americae implantata Anglorumque coloniis florentissima Geographica exhibita Nuremberg | [ca 1716] | 61.4 x 53 cm | one map Beautiful copy of one of the rare maps of the American North-East in the early eighteenth century, showing the region as it was considered before the British government commissioned more in-depth cartographic studies on the subject. his map is the work of Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724), one of the most well-known cartographers, founder of one of the most important German publishing houses. Conceived while the region was still being discovered, it shows a certain number of inaccuracies: Cape Cod is represented as an island and the port of Boston appears larger than its true size. The size of some lakes is exaggerated, whereas Lake Champlain is farther east that its actual location. Seneca Lake (New York State) is shown to be an immense sea that flows into the Hudson Valley and Lake George is then called «Lake Iroquois.» The representation of New France in the North is also inaccurate insofar as Montreal (Mont Royal) takes the shape of a huge island immediately adjacent to Lake Ontario. We also note the presence of the legendary Norumbega colony. It is also one of the very first representations of New York City: Manhattan is identified as an island captioned «N. Loch,» which helps to identify this map as a second state. Very beautiful copy. [FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS] Edition originale et second tirage de cette carte à toutes marges, gravée sur cuivre et rehaussée en couleurs à l'époque. La carte est apparue pour la première fois dans l'Atlas Novus vers 1716 et a été rééditée pendant plusieurs décennies. Beau cartouche en bas à droite témoignant des échanges commerciaux entre Amérindiens et Européens : perles, armes, outils, alcool, textiles et fourrures, l'un des piliers économiques de la Nouvelle-Angleterre à l'époque. Cette carte très détaillée couvre la zone géographique allant de Philadelphie au Sud jusqu'à la vallée du Saint-Laurent au Nord et indique les colonies amérindiennes et européennes. Elle couvre les Etats du Maine, du New Hampshire, du Vermont, du Massachusetts, du Connecticut, du Rhode Island, de New York et de Pennsylvanie et du New Jersey. Bel exemplaire de l'une des rares cartes du Nord-Est américain du début du XVIIIème siècle, représentant la région telle qu'elle était envisagée avant que le gouvernement britannique ne commande des études cartographiques plus approfondies sur le sujet. Cette carte est l'œuvre de Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724), l'un des cartographes les plus renommés, fondateur de l'une des plus importantes maisons d'éditions allemandes. Conçue alors que la région était toujours en cours d'explorations, elle montre un certain nombre d'inexactitudes : Cape Cod y est représentée comme une île et le port de Boston apparaît plus grand que son apparence réelle. La taille de certains lacs est exagérée, tandis que le lac Champlain plus à l'Est que son emplacement réel. Le lac Seneca (état de New York) se révèle être une immense mer qui se déverse dans la vallée de l'Hudson et le lac George porte alors le nom de « lac iroquois ». La représentation de la Nouvelle-France au Nord est elle aussi inexacte dans la mesure où Montréal (Mont Royal) prend la forme d'une île immense immédiatement adjacente au lac Ontario. On notera également la présence de la colonie légendaire de Norumbega. Il s'agit en outre de l'une des toutes premières représentations de la ville de New York : Manhattan est identifiée comme une île légendée « N. Loch », ce qui aide à identifier cette carte comme deuxième état. Très bel exemplaire.‎
