The Dutch had captured it from the Portuguese in 1640 and they had been fighting in the region since that time. As the Eighty Years' War was nearing its conclusion the present treaty was written in an attempt to settle the dispute. The dispute in fact continued beyond the peace of 1648 until the Dutch managed to drive the rest of the Portuguese out of Ceylon by 1658. The treaty notes the losses and battles caused by the dispute between the two powers and the demands made by the Dutch government to secure their position in the East Indies. This includes their demand for a yearly supply of cinnamon through which the Portuguese are to pay off their debt and restitution by both parties for the losses they caused one another. The parties agree to honor the treaty and not trespass on each other's rights and territories. Copies were to be sent to the Viceroy in Goa and to various governors in the East Indies.With library stamps. In very good condition.l STCN 2 copies; cf.

réf. 15846Edinburgh: Printed by Morrison & Gibb Limited. 1907. 15 1pp. 8vo. In grey printed card wraps. In fair condition lightly aged with rusted staples. The author describes his work in an introductory note as 'an elegant and ingenious poem in heroic verse; suggested by the third Satire of Juvenal; wherein the foolishness of the institutions of this University and the dullness and dishonesty of its inhabitants are for the first time properly exposed'. The influence of Samuel Johnson another adapter of Juvenal and also an Oxford man is strong as the opening indicates: 'Though on my brow there rose an angry frown When B - ll - l's i.e. 'Balliol's' Dons sent poor Patroclus down Yet envy stirred me as he caught his train No more to hear the Oxford bells again But far removed from godlesness and Greek To earn in town an honest pound a week.' Caldecott's entry in the Oxford DNB notes his 'happy talent for light verse'. Scarce: only three copies on COPAC the first at the British Library erroneously dated to 1910 and attributed to Geoffrey Howard the second the National Library of Wales the third Oxford.
