Contemporary half calf and marbled boards spine gilt leather label. Boards and extremities rubbed. Bookplate of Alberto Parreño on front pastedown. Some slight offsetting on titlepages else quite clean internally. Very good. An interesting and important collection of documents regarding British-Spanish relations toward the close of the French and Indian War in it's rare French and English edition. Most of the letters and papers are by Prime Minister William Pitt; Secretary of State for the Southern Department Sir Charles Wyndham the Earl of Egremont; and George Hervey the Earl of Bristol who was the British envoy at Madrid. Though not engaged in open warfare with Spain relations between Great Britain and Spain were tense and deteriorating in the late 1750s and early 1760s especially over issues of fishing rights in Newfoundland territory in the West Indies and Spanish support for the French. Though Pitt resigned as Prime Minister in late 1761 Great Britain declared war on Spain in early 1762. This collection prints documents explaining and justifying the Pitt administration's actions in the years leading up to the declaration of war. Several of the letters contain minute details of meetings and conferences between the Earl of Bristol and Spanish envoys and the Earl of Egremont's reply described by the DNB as a "masterly state paper" to the Spanish Ambassador Fuentes is included as well. There is much of American interest throughout including the British side of the story with regard to Newfoundland fisheries and the West Indies. Spain would ultimately lose Florida in the peace that settled the Seven Years' War. SABIN 58483. Printed by E. Owen and T. Harrison, in Warwick Lane hardcover books

An early diplomatic proclamation by the recently restored British monarch King Charles II and part of his efforts to encourage British colonial and commercial expansion.

Five years earlier the English under Cromwell had seized Jamaica from Spain and in 1656 Spain lent their support to Charles II's restoration to the throne. In this document Charles II proclaims that "all prisoners ships goods merchandize sic or whatsoever else taken upon one another either by any of our subjects or the subjects of our said dear brother since said time of our arrival in England be and shall be upon due proof thereof redelivered and restored." At the same time Charles II was negotiating with the Portuguese against Spanish interests in the New World especially with regard to Jamaica which the British ultimately retained. WING C3287.

Holland Spain Treaty
TRACTAET VAN 'T BESTANT GHEMAECKT ENDE BESLOTEN BINNEN DE STADT ENDE CITE VAN ANTWERPEN DEN NEGENSTEN APRILIS 1609.
The Hague: Hillebrant Iacobz 1609. 11pp. Large vignette on titlepage. Modern marbled boards. Very good. The original edition of the official Dutch text of the "Twelve Years' Truce" between the United Provinces and Spain. There are thirty- eight articles of which nine deal with foreign trade. The present issue undoubtedly the first contains a few errors which were corrected in later issues. By this treaty the Dutch agreed to stay out of Spanish controlled possessions in the New World. However it conceded the right of the Dutch to trade in the East Indies and on the basis of this and the breathing room the treaty gave them they were able to rout the Spanish in the 1620s. Savelle calls the Twelve Years' Truce "a great international triumph for all the challengers of the Hispano-Portuguese monopoly" on New World colonization since it marked the first explicit recognition of the right of any non- Iberian people to sail to the Americas. Spain tacitly recognized the right of the Dutch to own colonies in the New World a right which the Dutch French and British vigorously pursued in the ensuing decades. An important treaty and quite scarce. OCLC locates three copies. Not in EUROPEAN AMERICANA. DAVENPORT 28. KNUTTEL 1589. SAVELLE THE ORIGINS OF AMERICAN DIPLOMACY pp.31-34. OCLC 8525118 17751928.

Treaties of Paris Great Britain and Spain
TRAITE DEFINITIF ENTRE SA MAJESTE BRITANNIQUE ET SA MAJESTE CATHOLIQUE. SIGNE A VERSAILLES LE 3 SEPTEMBRE 1783.caption title
Paris 1783. 8pp. Tall folio designed to be folded with docket title sideways on last leaf. Later marbled boards leather label. Near fine. A French printing of the treaty between Spain and England adopted as part of the general peace of Sept. 3 1783. Through this treaty Spain reacquired the Floridas and the Mediterranean island of Minorca while Britain retained Gibraltar and acquired the Bahamas. This printing is unrecorded so far as we can discover. It seems to have been printed for the use of the French commissioners at the time of signing and is in folio form with docket printed on the side so that it could be folded and put in a file. It probably represents a printing during the later stages of the negotiation process. OCLC locates only microfiche copies made from an original in the Public Archives of Canada. Rare. DAVENPORT 174.

No. 11 of 13 copies printed on vellum there were also 88 copies printed on paper. Title with vignette numerous woodcut illustrations and large initial capitals. 1 vols. Folio 12-3/4 x 8-7/8 in.; 32.4 x 22.5 cm. One of 13 Copies on Vellum. This work consists of two important ordinances issued by the Spanish monarchy on November 20 1542 and June 4 1543. Under the active influence of Bartolomeo de las Casas "friend of the Indians" the new laws had the special design of ensuring better treatment of the Indians limiting the distribution of their lands and above all protecting them against enslavement by the conquering Spaniards. <br/><br/>"Las Leyes Nuevas" are reprinted here in this fine facsimile from the copy on vellum in the British Museum and are followed by an English translation. Much of the book is taken up by the historical Introduction by Henry Stevens who denounces the Spanish mistreatment of the Indians. Ironically the Spanish crown was later forced to rescind the new laws by colonists who were outraged at having to give up their right to a quota of enslaved Indian laborers.<br/><br/>A magnificent and impressive production by the Chiswick Press one of only 13 printed on vellum. Chiswick Press unknown books

PHILIP III King of Spain 1578 1621
Spanish Manuscript Document Signed
Aranda 1610 Dated July 8 1610. 12 1/8 x 7 7/8 inches. 1pp. Printed paper woodcut seal. Minor creases where folded. Right upper edge a bit rough small split to one crease repaired with acid-free document repair tape small light stain to portion of first two lines but a fine example. As with all other Spanish royal signatures Philip has signed "Yo el Rey" I the King. With the words "El Rey" at the top this document grants permission to the town of Canical to withhold 20000 Maravedis coin of the time from the sum it owes in taxes in order to settle a municipal debt. Includes 18 lines in brown ink in a miniscule script. Next to the King's signature is a mounted printed paper woodcut seal with the emblem of the College of Notaries of Madrid. Countersigned in a bold dark script Jorge de Tovar. At the bottom are three lines by officials of the town of Canical acknowledging the permission granted. Philip III was King of Spain and King of Portugal from 1598 until his death. He inherited essentially a bankrupt nation with a disastrous economy. His father Philip II had drained Spain's resources with her wealth based on the silver mines of Latin America. Spain's internal economy was weak with little industry and a backward agriculture and large estates worked by peasants ruined by excessive taxation. This document is typical of the economic weakness of Spain with the town of Canical requiring monetary help. An attractive official document with bold signatures. unknown books
