1703139168London: Printed and sold by John Nutt 1703. Planting colonies in the Spanish Americas First edition preceding the second edition of that year with an added postscript. Published in the third year of the War of the Spanish Succession 1701-1714 the anonymous author proposes that in return for the support of Britain and the Netherlands for the claim of the Emperor of Austria to the Spanish crown Spain's territories in America should be ceded to the two mercantile powers. They propose a confederation which will share the treasure from the Spanish mines keeping it out of the hands of a single monarch and in so doing preserve the balance of power in Europe. They moreover support extending the war to the Spanish West-Indies at that stage untouched by the conflict and offer proposals to plant colonies there. They respond to critics who would argue that such attempts at joint control of the American mines and territories would engender war between Britain and the Netherlands as trade brings peace and also reject the arguments that American wealth flowing into the mercantile nations would weaken the nation as was believed to be the case in Spain. The polemic nonetheless offers a stark realpolitik view of world politics and of the war treating as irrelevant the moral questions of stripping the territories of their nominal ally Habsburg Spain rather than the official war aims of taking French territories and stemming the growth of Bourbon power.

1713WRCAM53351Minorca Spain 1713. 690pp. Thick quarto. Later three-quarter calf and marbled boards. Moderate wear to edges and spine extremities boards rubbed corners bumped. Small later ownership inscription on front pastedown. Light foxing and tanning marginal dust soiling. Composed in a neat legible hand. Very good. Untrimmed. A lengthy and highly detailed manuscript volume containing documents related to the British takeover of Minorca after its capture from Spain during the War of Spanish Succession and an investigation into the governance of the island. In September 1708 British forces occupied the Mediterranean island with little opposition the inhabitants and nobles having mostly supported the Anglo-Dutch designs for the Spanish throne. The inherent importance of the island as a military outpost and trading way point in the Mediterranean led the British to occupy it for the rest of the war and to receive it as a possession in the Treaty of Utrecht which ended the conflict in 1713. <br> <br> The documents collected here relate to the English Brigadier Lewis Petit who served as Lieutenant Governor and Chief Engineer of the island during its occupation. As Chief Engineer Petit was in charge of improving the fortifications and defenses of Minorca and although a Spanish ally was named as titular Governor Petit exercised the true authority over the island. Although his improvement plans may have been sound his management of the island's public moneys was suspect. <br> <br> "Petit somehow found time to enter into commercial speculations on his own account. In partnership with two Spaniards and Stanhope's secretary Arent Furley Petit purchased a French prize at Mahón for 7800 dollars with which to trade between Minorca Majorca Sardinia and the Spanish and Barbary coasts. He advised Furley that he had found it necessary to use funds supplied for the fortifications to complete the purchase and urgently requested capital from his partners to repay this misappropriation. Petit's participation was valuable to the enterprise owing to his ability to land cargoes at Mahón without paying duty an activity much objected to by the local town government. <br> <br> "Petit was soon to find himself under the scrutiny of the inspectors sent from London to investigate irregularities in the expenditure of the army in Spain as an attempt to disgrace the previous ministry.The accusations against him concerned imperfections in his accounts including allegations of missing vouchers irregularities and overcharging in the numbers of workmen and mules and alleged differences between prices contracted and prices paid among other charges" - DNB. <br> <br> The documents compiled here therefore relate principally to the investigation of those actions by a specially convened Board of Commissioners and contain Petit's written responses to specific inquiries about his expenditures. In transmitting these answers the reports provide a detailed perspective regarding the management of Minorca's finances defenses and engineering improvements under Petit's charge. Moreover in order to buttress or to undermine those claims voluminous correspondence financial figures construction reports testimonies affidavits and other material are reproduced that span the length of the British occupation of the island before it officially became a possession. As a result the manuscript documents contained here provide a thorough encapsulation of the economic and military situation on Minorca and the growth of its importance as a British outpost in the Mediterranean. <br> <br> A highly valuable set of manuscript documents that meticulously details the development and management of a British possession gained through the War of Spanish Succession worthy of much deeper research.
