Tre tomi in 8° (cm 14 x 22), copertine mute coeve, pp 302 per il primo tomo; 328 per il secondo; 230 per il terzo. Esemplare , in barbe, parzialmente intonso. Ricchissima opera che esamina le cause delle rivoluzioni nei Paesi Bassi, e loro conseguenze, attribuita dal Barbier al M. (1743-1794), personaggio controverso dall'esistenza tumultuosa, trascorsa in parte in America, su cui scrisse; dopo una carriera commerciale, andò a Parigi per fondare filiali della banca che aveva ad Amsterdam. Qui si unì ai realisti costituzionali e nel '94 fu ghigliottinato. L'opera si apre con un "Tableau historique" dalle origini di quelle terre fino ai giorni dell'A., che occupa il primo, e parte del secondo tomo; troviamo numerosi dettagli narrati, quale la descrizione di medaglie coniate in occasione di vittorie; una lunga descrizione di Amsterdam e di tutte le città e cittadine delle Province Unite; un fervido elogio degli olandesi sotto il profilo dell'abilità commerciale e degli scambi. A metà del secondo tomo, troviamo il "Tableau graduel du commerce et des possessions d'outre-mer hollandaises", con particolareggiato resoconto dello stato attuale del commercio (e della Marina) in Olanda, dei possedimenti e delle piazzeforti oltremare, con breve ma esaustiva descrizione delle città principali, dei prodotti importati dalle colonie: minuziose descrizioni del caffè, thè, cacao e sul cioccolato (undici pagine consacrate a questi prodotti di lusso -dal seme all'albero alla lavorazione all'esportazione al consumo e prezzi- ancora parzialmente ignoti a livello di masse in Europa) bétel, caucciù, indaco..., così come delle materie prime che ivi si producono, con tabelle delle entrate, fondi e capitali della "Compagnie des Indes orientales Hollandaises"; ogni tanto si aprono squarci affascinanti nel discorso intessuto di ponderose cifre e dati tecnici, come le pagine sull coltivazione delle ostriche perlifere, l'estrazione delle perle, le varie qualità e l'ineguale valore di esse, la madreperla secondo i naturalisti, primo fra tutti Linneo; oppure le numerose pagine consacrate alle miniere diamantifere di Ceylon, con innumerevoli notizie curiose sulle tecniche di estrazione, e tabelle riguardanti il valore in fiorini dei diamanti secondo la caratura. Il terzo tomo tratta escusivamente di "anecdotes", ciè notizie storiche, archeologiche, curiose, politiche, pettegolezzi, sistema di governo, ruolo della magistratura, rapporti con gli altri Stati...ecc, delle principali città delle Provinces-Unies, nonchè della rivoluzione d'Olanda: nel 1787 lo statolder Guglielmo V d'Orange viene privato dei poteri da una rivolta antiorangista; l'intervento del re di Prussia Federico Guglielmo II, suo cognato, gli permette di ritornare a capo della Repubblica. Esemplari censiti in SBN. Barbier col. 353.

1851Best.-Nr. BK0071Guayaquil Ecuador 1851. Folded manuscript letter in Spanish with an earlier communication dated June 13 copied and headed "Duplicado" followed by a second communication dated July 18 on the same folded sheet. Integral address panel to "Sr. Dn. Fran.co S. Alvarez / San Francisco / Alta California" with oval "FORWARDED BY / ZACHRISSON NELSON & CO. / PANAMA" handstamp and large "20" due marking. 2 pp. 8 ¼ x 10 ¼ inches. Old folds with several small losses and separations along folds and margins only minimally affecting the text. A detailed commercial letter from the Guayaquil mercantile house V. Gómez & Ca. to Francisco Salvador Ãlvarez Pérez the prominent Valparaíso merchant then engaged in business in San Francisco during the opening years of the California Gold Rush. Ãlvarez belonged to one of Valparaíso's established commercial families and maintained extensive Pacific trading interests. He would shortly afterward serve as Chilean consul in San Francisco. In the letters Gómez & Co. supply Ãlvarez with current market information from Ecuador. They also apparently executed purchases on behalf of his Valparaíso interests. The first communication dated June 13 and recopied here as a duplicate reports extensively on the Guayaquil commodity market. Gómez & Co. describe the year's cacao crop as exceptionally poor discuss newly arrived cacao from Machala and the prices being asked for it and report purchases and quantities associated with Ãlvarez's business. They also give information on barley Jipijapa Panama hats exchange rates and other current prices. The July 18 continuation connects those commodity markets directly to the political crisis then unfolding between Ecuador and New Granada. Explaining why barley cannot be purchased below a previously quoted price Gómez & Ca. cite the fact that threats from New Granada had compelled the Ecuadorian government to form an army thereby taking many workers away from industry "la actitud amenazante que ha tomado la Nueva Granada y que ha obligado a este Gobierno a ordenar la formación de un Ejército que quite muchos brazos a la industria". The letter is dated July 18 1851 amid the military and political crisis of that summer and just one day after the Guayaquil garrison proclaimed José María Urbina Supreme Chief. The integral address leaf preserves the letter's route northward through Panama in the hands of Zachrisson Nelson & Co. one of the forwarding firms handling correspondence in the early California traffic. An interesting document of the commercial infrastructure connecting South America with California in 1851 with identifiable firms and recipients content regarding Gold Rush-era Pacific trade contemporary commentary on Ecuadorian mobilization and Panama forwarding marks. . unknown
