1803102506London: House of Commons c. 1803 reprint. Hardcover. Very Good. Pages 217-286. Rebound in navy cloth spine and blue paper boards. Dampstained title page and further stains to margins at rear. <br/><br/>In March 1749 a British parliamentary committee was created to enquire into the state and condition of the land adjoining Hudson's Bay and the trade carried on there. One of the key witnesses was James Isham who arrived back from North America to give evidence. Isham whose name appears frequently in this volume felt settlement by the shores of Hudson's Bay was impossible since food crops could not be grown there inland posts were needed even at uneconomic costs in transportation and no practical northwest passage really existed. Much of the text consists of appendices such as His Majesty's Royal Charter. House of Commons hardcover

1910133728nd. ca. 1910. Hardcover. Good. 146 b&w photos in 28 cm black cloth album. Wear to cloth at corners and spine tail. Rubbing to boards. All photos pasted in none loose. Not labelled. <br/><br/>These photos show men in uniform camping scenes group photos two with names bridge building etc. The album dates to a time when the Argentine military in general and the Army in particular was contributing to developing Argentina's unsettled southern frontier and its nascent industrial complex. Without locations being specified however it's difficult to tell where in the country these photos were taken. In1902 it was estimated that Argentina had over 700000 men with some form of military experience in either the regular army or national guard. Its military personnel allowed it to greatly overshadow its closest rival Brazil and made Argentina well prepared to take the side of the Axis during World War I. Handsome soldier on first leaf may have been the album's owner. hardcover

Sheet measures 15" x 11 1/2"<br/> <br/> This satirical persuasive map depicts the island of "Geks-Kop" rendered as a 'fools head' or man in a 'fool's cap.' The map is an allegorical reference to the economic crash caused by the French Compagnie d'Occident often referred to as the Mississippi Company following the burst of the Mississippi Bubble. Surrounding the head are islands labeled Poverty Despair and Sorrow. Rivers serve to outline facial features and place names include 'Leugenburg' Town of Lies 'Bedriegers Stadt' City of Cheaters Gekkendam Crazy-dam etc. <br> <br> In 1719 John Law a Scottish financier created a bubble in the shares of the Mississippi Company by touting the economic potential of the French colony of Louisiana. Also there was great demand for the bank notes of the Banque General Privee the French bank that sponsored the Mississippi Company. In 1720 the bubble burst on the stock of the Mississippi Company and the bank notes when investors became doubtful of their value. <Br> <br> This sheet was published in 'Het Groote Tafereel Der Dwaasheid' or 'The Great Mirror of Folly' - A renowned monument for the speculative mania of 1720: The great mirror of folly showing the rise progress and downfall of the bubble in stocks and windy speculation in France England and the Netherlands. It constitutes a collection of mostly satirical plates on the operations of John Law in France and the South Sea Bubble in England together with the text of the charters of speculative companies in Holland and a number of satirical plays and comedies published during the bubble.

177341470Genève but probably Paris: Ch.- J. Panckoucke. 1773. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 12mo; On offer here is an attractive volume in 18th century full calf bound in the French style flat spine with floral tools in gilt red label lettered in gilt marbled endpapers edges decoratively stained red. The volume in which these interesting numbers of the now-scarce 'Journal Historique Et Politique Des Principaux Événements Des Différentes Cours de L'Europe' is in a handsome contemporary binding which shows only minor rubbing -- mostly along the hinges apart from some moderate fraying and loss at the corners and erosion of the top cap of the spine exposing the headband. The original swirl-marbled endpapers are intact and the inner hinges are tight and secure; the sewing is sound and tight throughout. There are scattered brown marks and paper flaws reflecting the mediocre quality of the paper selected for this journal which was hardly expected to last for 240 years. This volume contains issues 10-18 of the interesting periodical "Journal Historique Et Politique Des Principaux Événements Des Différentes Cours de L'Europe" covering events of April-June of 1773. This journal was published every 10 days for the active Parisian publisher and bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke. One of the "différentes Cours de L'Europe" in which events were covered extensively was London with pages of details of goings on in England and its colonies offered in each issue. There is an unusually detailed account with full text in French of a significant treaty signed by a representative of King George III: "Traite de paix entre l'Angleterre & les Caraïbes de l'isle Saint-VIncent." This appears on pp. 45-48 of Numero 12 -- issued 30 Avril 1773. The treaty is presented as having been agreed to on the 17th "de ces mois" and so it is very much in the category of breaking news. This treaty is now fairly but undeservedly obscure but the situation it attempted to settle grew out of one famous treaty from ten years before and it proved to be a fascinating precursor to another more famous treaty signed ten years later. In one of the lesser re-assignments of the territories of the world effected by the 1763 Treaty of Paris at the conclusion of the Seven Years' War -- Britain was awarded the right to rule over the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent. The island's history of course is much older; native American Arawak and Carib tribes settled over several centuries on a number of islands in the Lesser Antilles including St.Vincent. The Arawaks arrived around 100AD and the Caribs about a thousand years later. The Caribs more organized and aggressive subdued and absorbed the culture of the Arawaks. Shortly after the first British claim on Saint Vincent in 1627 two Dutch ships carrying captured Nigerians destined for slavery were shipwrecked in 1635 off the coast of St. Vincent. Some of the Africans were able to swim ashore and find shelter in the Carib villages. This population of Africans and their descendants was augmented over the years including in 1675 when a ship carrying British settlers and their slaves was shipwrecked between St. Vincent and Bequia. Only the slaves survived the shipwreck and they also came to live and mix with the native mixed Carib-Arawak population. A certain number of escaped slaves from nearby Barbados Grenada and St. Lucia also added to the African-Carib population. After some friction and even wars eventually the native Caribs and the newer African arrivals merged and blended their cultures. British settlers distinguished them as "Black Caribs" and "Red or yellow Caribs. The "Black" people so-designated by outsiders preferred to call themselves Garifuna. Throughout some of this period there were French settlers who arrived with the intention of making their living as planters. They seemed to get along with the native population with less friction but the British land owners seemed united in their desire to form large plantations and to run the Caribs off the most desireable land. They tried to buy the land tried military action with the minor forces available but the "Black" Caribs resisted both efforts. The British raised the stakes by sending Major General William Dalrymple with troops borrowed from around the Caribbean and augmented by two regiments which were sent from North America Dalrymple himself had been dispatched from Boston where he had technically been in command of troops involved in the Boston Massacre although he himself had not been present. Despite his best efforts Dalrymple was unable to subdue the resisting Caribs led by the now-legendary Chief Joseph Chatoyer -- who knew the windward side of the islands and the hills far better than any of their combantants. In February opponents of the Government of Lord North raised objections in Parliament and obtained votes which compelled the British Government to end the fighting and secure peace on the best terms possible. The French language text offered here appears to be a word for word version of the 24 articles of the English treaty published in the 'Saint Vincent Gazette' of 27 February 1773. One article number VIII is of extraordinary interest concerning Slavery and the trade which would continue in the British possessions for nearly another sixty years. The heart of this article requires that Runaway Slaves in the possession of the Caribs are to be given up that efforts must be made to discover and capture others and it must be agreed that no future efforts to encourage receive or harbour other slaves shall be made under the penalty of fortiture of lands. Finally it was stated that removal of Slaves from the Island constituted a Capital crime. The Caribs were required to pledge allegiance to King George III but were made British subjects which gave legal standing to enforce article VIII of course. In return the British ceded a well-defined portion of the Island to the Caribs -- called the prettiest and most fertile part of the land by at least one subsequent scholar. Thus concluded the first Anglo-Carib War. This treaty did not endure for the ages. During three days in June of 1779 French ships fighting on behalf of the Revolutionaries in North America quickly took possession of Saint Vincent with the assistance of Joseph Chatoyer and the "Black Caribs". But in the Treaty of Versailles which was an ancillary treaty to the Treaty of Paris 1783 by which Britain also recognized the end of the American Revolutionary War saw the British restored as sovereigns over Saint Vincent. Relations between the British and their once-again subjects the Caribs disintegrated. The situation brought about a second Anglo-Carib war 1794-6 once again led by Joseph Chatoyer. As in the first war the Caribs gave the British forces all they could manage for over a year but after the death in battle of Chatoyer on March 14 1795 the end seemed inevitable although fighting raged throughout St. Vincent over the next year with both sides sustaining heavy losses. The final battle took place at Vigie on June 10th 1796. After a night of arduous fighting the Caribs approached the British with a truce flag. The victorious British then did a remarkable thing which has repercussions lasting throughout the Caribbean and extending to South and North America through the present time. They sorted the 5000 Caribs who surrendered separating the darkest skinned individuals and those with the most "African" features from the "Yellow Caribs." This darkest majority of the so-called Black Caribs were first sent to Balliceaux in the Grenadines and then on to Bequia. Eventually in 1797 the survivors were transported hundreds of miles to the island of Roatan off the Honduran coast in Central America. This extraordinary settlement has permanently affected the modern populations of Belize Guatemala Nicaragua and Honduras. The 1773 treaty offered in its French version here may have become moot in just over six years but it will stand forever as the first time that Britain was compelled by military force to negociate a treaty as equals with indiginous citizens of the New World. The incident has lasting imporance to African American history and the lamentable history of the Slave Trade. There is even a painting which records the negotiations for the treaty -- commissioned of the itinerant artist Agostino Brunias by Sir William Young a major landowner on Saint Vincent who became governor of Dominica; lithographs based on the painting were sold. Of course there is much other news from all over Europe in these pages including an interesting account from the future United States with details of the grant of land to Phineas Lyman and some of his fellow veterans of the French and Indian Wars. General Lyman was the most experienced American soldier of the period prior to the Revolution. He moved to England after 1762 and spent the next nine years petitioning for a grant of land in the newly established colony of West Florida. A tract near Natchez now Mississippi was granted by royal charter in 1772. Lyman led a band of settlers to the region in 1773 -- see pp. 42-3 of Numero 11 20 Avril 1773. There is much in these pages about the troubles of the East India Company and the Wilkes affair as well. And finally there is an account of a significant incident in the tensions which moved events towards the American Revolution. Colonial Governor of Massachusetts Thomas Hutchinson in a speech to the assembly argued that either the colony was wholly subject to Parliament or that it was effectively independent. The Boston Provincial Assembly's response authored by John Adams Samuel Adams and Joseph Hawley countered that the colonial charter granted autonomy -- and was described in an account on pages 39-40 of Numero 13 10 Mai 1773. .

18805671Great Britain:: Original Watercolor c.1880-1900. Fine. Fine original watercolor on rag paper. 25.4 x 17.7 cm. Matted in Rag. Condition: Fine with minor aged paper remains to verso corners from previous mount watermarked 1902. Pathos notwithstanding and made all the more alluring by want of attribution this vivid watercolor scene a flock of Bustards on riverbank was envisioned and thus executed not by a professional artist field naturalist or explorer but by an amateur or armchair traveler/naturalist /painter. The drama evident yet depiction gentle this watercolor quite plausibly was painted by a young Victorian gentlewoman who would have learned the art of nature painting as was the custom and who would have sought inspiration from the grand natural history color plate volumes of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This bold and vivid naturalists' display of a tapestry of dappled foliage or the crystalline translucence of disturbed water or the splendid reticulated plumage is clearly stylized by a primitive eye yet executed with an accomplished and refined hand; the technique is learned. The resulting composition is one of dramatic charm. Matted in Rag Board Original Watercolor, unknown
