1783réf. 34310Paris. February 4 1783. Preliminary Treaty of England and France On January 20 1783 terms for a general armistice between England and France and Spain were reached two months after terms with the United States had been worked out. A general armistice was agreed upon for February 4. This supplement to the Royal Gazette was probably the first publication of the terms of the British-French agreement. The French advantage after Yorktown had been largely lost with De Grasse's defeat in the Caribbean in 1782 so the net effect was largely a return to status quo with Caribbean possessions of both sides restored. Furthermore England's claims to Newfoundland were maintained and mutual fishing rights off the Canadian coast were agreed upon. Quarto. Later marbled boards leather label. Near fine.

Publication of the Peace of Paris A regional printing of the official French proclamation of "bonne ferme stable & solide" peace between France and Great Britain bringing an end to the war of the American Revolution and warfare in other colonies and Europe. Although a preliminary peace had been negotiated in Paris as of Nov. 30 1782 with an armistice in effect as of Jan. 20 1783 the final treaty took many more months to conclude both because of last minute wrangling over fishing rights on the Grand Banks and delays in Trans-Atlantic ratification. The final treaties between France England and the United States were originally proclaimed on Nov. 3 1783 and this version of the announcement was printed at Caen on Dec. 27 1783. As a Channel port the notice of peace would have been of particular interest there. Quarto. Antique-style marbled boards gilt leather label. Near fine. Untrimmed. hardcover

1783réf. 20840London. 1783. England and France Agree on a Resolution to the American Revolution The first British publication of the terms of peace agreed upon between France and England after the American Revolution. The French had hoped to obtain more from England in the final peace settlement but De Grasse's catastrophic naval loss to Rodney in the Caribbean in 1782 weakened their position and the American commissioners forced their hand by coming to their own accord with the British on November 30 1782. By this treaty the British cede Newfoundland fishing rights return St. Lucia and Tobago to France and France gives back Nevis Grenada St. Kitts Montserrat and St. Vincent to the British as well as territorial exchanges in India. This treaty was vital to the final resolution of the American Revolution since the United States was pledged to move with France as an ally and was not in a position to settle without her. The final treaties of all the warring powers were signed on November 3 1783. Quarto. Antique half calf and marbled boards. Some minimal old ink underscoring else a near fine copy untrimmed.

réf. 15743Paris. 1783. Variant Form of the Anglo-Spanish 1783 Treaty A French printing of the treaty between Spain and England adopted as part of the general peace of September 3 1783. Through this treaty Spain reacquired the Floridas and the Mediterranean island of Minorca while Britain retained Gibraltar and acquired the Bahamas. This printing is unrecorded so far as we can discover. It seems to have been printed for the use of the French commissioners at the time of signing and is in folio form with docket printed on the side so that it could be folded and put in a file. It probably represents a printing during the later stages of the negotiation process. OCLC locates only one institutional holding at the Library and Archives of Canada. Rare. Tall folio designed to be folded with docket title sideways on last leaf. Later marbled boards leather label. Near fine. DAVENPORT 174. OCLC 1007694637.

1875réf. 40335N.p. but possibly Paris. ca.1875. A Rare Series of Plates of Maritime Life on the Senegal Coast A volume of engravings depicting the voyage of the ship Bellone and seafaring life. Following the "title" plate which is numbered 21 are scenes of Africa primarily in Senegal. These plates depict the natives villages and cities. After the scenes of Africa are plates depicting maritime life evidently on a French naval vessel in the Atlantic. These images are much more delicately engraved and are not numbered. The first few of these detail a "day in the life" of a sailor from morning muster and breakfast through scrubbing the deck and inspection and shore leave. Two plates of Uruguay and two unidentified landscapes are also inexplicably inserted in the midst of this sequence. An interesting and perhaps unique compilation of travel and maritime images. Forty engraved plates. Folio. Contemporary green half calf and marbled boards spine gilt. Spine faded. Lightly rubbed at extremities. Bookplate on front pastedown. First plate lightly age-toned. Some very minor scattered foxing else bright and clean internally. Very good. hardcover
