1800Best.-Nr. 21114ca1800. Not bound. Very good; colors somewhat faded; mounted; folded at one point. Folio measuring 492 x 730 mm. Utilizing 7 different colors to designate grounds buildings emplacements roads barriers water courses etc. with a 20 line legend and scale of distance upper right corner. The map bears an internal date for an identified location on the map of 1797 i.e. the named location is given with a date implying an unstated "as of". The Italian town of Osoppo sits northwest of Udine and demarcates the western most point of defense for the old Venetian Republic that ended with the French - Austrian Treaty of Campo Formio ceding Venice to Austrian rule. Napoleon himself is supposed to have sat at the heights of the fortress in Osoppo and opined that it was a natural barrier and defensive point for all travel from the Alps down to the coast. Hence its occupation by the French. The Treaty proved short-lived and the fortress changed hands a number of times between 1797 and 1814. It appears that this plan follows from a French occupation and reveals numerous details of that occupation and its strategic importance. Beginning in the early 16th century a fortress had been established on the high ground; here the Casa Savoignano is placed and identified apparently as a reminder of this legacy. unknown books

Front cover present with partial title and price eighteen-pence. A contemporary wrote an interesting note on the front cover: "Very strong ag't Littleton and very / Little against Pitt in general / Exposing the pretended Patriots." According to Walpole in 1747 "I was re-chosen in the new Parliament for Kellington in Cornwall. About the same time was published a Letter to the Tories written as I then believed by Mr. George Lyttelton who with his family had come over to Mr. Pelham. As Mr. Lyttelton had been a great enemy of and writer against my father as as Mr. Pelham had used my father and his friends extremely ill and neglected the Whigs to court the Tories I published an answer to that piece and called it a Letter to the Whigs. It was a careless performance and written in five days. At the end of the year I wrote two more Letters to the Whigs but did not publish them till April the next year when they went through three editions immediately. I had intended to suppress them but some attacks being made by the Grenvilles on Lord Chief Justice Willes an intimate friend of my father. . . I printed them and other pieces" "Short Notes on My Life". Size: 8vo. First Edition. Disbound. Very Good. Printed for M. Cooper, at the Globe in Pater-noster Row paperback
