About this Item
vii,[1],60pp. Original plain wrappers. Edges wrinkled, with occasional small chips. Light dust soiling to wrappers and outer leaves, otherwise internally clean. Near fine. Untrimmed. In a half morocco and cloth box. Although maintaining a formal neutrality during the American Revolution, the Dutch Republic sold weapons to the rebellious colonists, resulting in British reprisals against Dutch vessels. This work makes the case for British seizures of munitions-laden Dutch ships destined for the revolting American colonies. It was printed for private circulation among neutral maritime courts, and printed in French, which was the language of diplomacy at the time. "One of the most valuable tracts on the subject of supplying the American Colonies with the sinews of war during the Revolution. It is of great rarity" - Rosenbach. A scarce work, the first copy of this first edition that we have owned. HOWES M298, "aa." SABIN 44689. AMERICAN CONTROVERSY 79-70. ROSENBACH 4:246. Seller Inventory # WRCAM43090
