"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.

In-8, demi-percaline chagrinée, titre doré, 103, (1) p. Rare édition originale publiée en août 1809 de ce célèbre pamphlet, critique documentée dirigée contre le blocus continental mis en place par Napoléon.

1925This is an about very good hardcover copy of a scarce trade catalog from the Venetian retailer, Francesco Brunello. The brown cloth leatherette covers are held together by cord. The back cover is mostly missing. The front cover has the company name and title in gilt script. Clean inside and out. Inside are 29 original photographs mounted to gray card stock leaves. All photographs bear a handstamp, either to the photograph or the margin of the leaf, with Francesco Brunello's name and adress in Venice. The first two photographs are different views of Brunello's showroom. The rest of the photographs are of individual pieces of furniture, in older Italian styles, very ornate, with elaborate veneer work and gilt mounts. Most photographs also have a tipped-on label of typed, or occasionally hand-written paper giving the model number and describing the piece, its' general style and materials. Most photographs with photographer information stamped on the back, also hand-written notes in Italian. No date on the catalog, but several photographs show electrical cords typical of the 1920's and 30's.
