17852954The Hague: Isaac Scheltus 1785. Very Good. Broadside. Text in two columns. Large woodcut of coat of arms of the Dutch Republic along with the arms of all member states woodcut initial also with modified Dutch Republic arms. Crease down the vertical and horizontal middle other small creases in the lower half ink offsetting from folding on lower half small tears and chips along edges small dark stain just above top woodcut. The origins of the Dutch Naval College. <br/><br/>Fascinating broadside detailing tax duties on ships trading in the East and West Indies America the Cape of Good Hope and elsewhere levied for - and applied towards - the newly founded Dutch Royal Naval College "Kweekschool voor de Zeevaart" or Seminary for Navigation which produced officers for the Dutch Sea Service. Notably these officers were not trained at sea but in the classroom -- and in the courtyard where the navy erected large model training ship for the ultimate experiential learning. The vessel was large enough for young students to climb the rigging. It is with good reason that graduates were described as "paper sailors." <br/><br/>According to this broadside the Dutch Republic approved and consented to the establishment and maintenance of the Kweekschool in the year 1781 for which the bespoke taxes were collected. The academy was officially opened in 1785 the same year that this "Publicatie" was printed. Taxes were only levied on ships of the East Indies Oostindien and the Cape of Good Hope Kaap.<br/><br/>It was with some urgency that the Kweekschool was developed: at this time there was a radical shift in the balance of maritime power: the power of the Dutch East India Company was in gradual decline in deference to the rising British East India Company which came to dominate global trade. In particular 1785 marks the first full year following the end of the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War which broke out over British and Dutch disagreements on the legality and conduct of Dutch trade with Britain's enemies during the War of American Independence. <br/><br/>The broadside is signed in print by Caspar Clotterbooke 1711-1791 who was Secretary of the States of Holland at the time.<br/><br/>OCLC shows no copy in any institution outside of the Netherlands. Our copy appears to be the only one on the market; it is probable that this is the only one in private hands.<br/><br/>Literature: See especially Margaret E.

1675WRCAM45901London: Printed by the Assigns of John Bill and Christopher Barker 1675. Broadside 22 x 14 1/2 inches printed on two sheets. Old fold lines. Repaired with tissue on verso along vertical fold. A few other small tears or tissue repairs. Very good. A rare broadside announcing the decree of the English government that all foreign goods destined for British colonies must first pass through England a policy of mercantilism later termed the "triangle trade." "This program permitted the profits from colonial trade and commerce to center in England promoted British shipping and enabled the British government to support itself by taxing this trade as it flowed through England" - DAH. <br> <br> The English government began its mercantilist policies under the Commonwealth government in a series of "navigation acts" which regulated English trade. The first Navigation Act passed in 1651 targeted Dutch commerce. It stipulated that only English ships could carry freight into English territories and that if a ship was not English it could only carry goods from the country from whence it hailed i.e. Dutch ships could only import Dutch goods etc. Acts passed in 1660 and 1663 under the Restoration government of Charles II isolated trade even further mandating that British colonial goods only be imported to England and forbidding English trade on anything other than English vessels. This policy of trade which was continued for the next two hundred years marked the ascent of British colonial mercantilism and planted the seeds of discontent which resulted in the American Revolution one hundred years later. <br> <br> The present proclamation is an enforcement of the Navigation Act of 1663 An Act for the Encouragement of Trade under which "no commodities of the growth production or manufacture of Europe shall be imported into any land island plantation colony territory or place to his Majesty belonging." In other words all European trade to the American and East Indian colonies of the English had to pass through English ports en route. As the law is being disobeyed to the detriment of trade and tax revenue the proclamation extends power for enforcement to the officials of the realm. It states: <br> <br> "whereas his Majesty is well informed that notwithstanding the said Act of Parliament great quantities of other commodities.have been and are daily imported into several of his colonies plantations and territories in Asia Africa and America.and that his Majesties subjects of some of his colonies and plantations have not onely sic supplied themselves with such commodities not shipped in England.but have conveyed them by land and water to other of his Majesties colonies and plantations to the great prejudice of his Majesties customs and of the trade and navigation of this kingdom." <br> <br> An important proclamation which illustrates the difficulty in maintaining and enforcing the laws central to the first British Empire.
