1634réf. A58GY6F4ISP8Lyon 1634. Small 8vo. Claude de Villiers Disbound. Woodcut ornament on title-page woodcut headpiece and initial. 14 pp. Extremely rare second edition of a pamphlet containing an army report on the preparations for a siege of Breda by the army of the Dutch Republic under the Stadtholder Frederik Hendrik. The army had left Nijmegen to march on Breda which was in the hands of the Spaniards since the conquest of the city by the Spanish general Spinola in June 1625. The hidden motive of these preparations was to distract the Spanish army that was threatening the city of Maastricht some 150 kilometres southeast of Breda. In 1637 however Frederik Hendrik captured Breda after a seven weeks siege. The city remained part of the Dutch Republic from that time.

1645réf. F93FG6YNZ8OAMiddelburg 1645. 4to. 19th-century sprinkled paper wrappers. With a large woodcut illustration on the title-page showing the Middelburg coat of arms supported by a merman and a mermaid with ships in the background signed "I.C.I.". Set in textura. 36 pp. Two dialogues discussing Dutch warships capturing Dunkirk privateers and merchant ships. Dunkirkers serving the Spanish Navy were a major threat to Dutch trade and shipping taking hundreds of ships during the Dutch revolt. The present pamphlet discusses several commanders of warships including the Zeeland captains Jacob Pense Gerrit Verhagen Jan Evertsen de Jonge and Jacob Verhelle who captured no fewer than 30 Dunkirk ships in just one year. Jan Evertsen de Jonge was the son of the famous admiral Jan Evertsen who had captured the infamous Duinkerk privateer Jacques Colaert in 1636 and later fought several battles in the first and second Anglo-Dutch war. The pamphlet concludes with a list of captured ships mentioned in the text. It seems to have been written to advocate the fitting out of more warships to protect Dutch or more particularly Zeeland trade.Spine damaged otherwise in very good condition.l Den Zeusen Beesem 1062; Knuttel 5221; Thysius 4812; Tiele Pamfletten 3000.
