1609WRCAM46859Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. Two volumes bound in one. Described in greater detail below. Folio. Contemporary boards rebacked in calf spine gilt leather label. Very good. From the Library of the Earls of Macclesfield with engraved 1860 bookplate on front pastedown and blind pressure stamp on first two printed leaves of first title. Two highly important Dutch voyages both in their second French editions and bound together as issued in 1609. These two voyages represent the initial Dutch exploration and expansion to the East Indies a significant element in a global commercial enterprise which was to develop throughout the 17th century. The two foundation accounts in the present volume originally issued together by Amsterdam printer Cornille Nicolas include: <br> <br> 1 Lodewijcksz Willem: PREMIER LIVRE DE L'HISTOIRE DE LA NAVIGATION AUX INDES ORIENTALES PAR LES HOLLANDOIS. Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. 53 leaves. Titlepage with engraved map forty-five in-text engravings including three maps seventeen in-text woodcut illustrations and one plate on separate leaf following printed text. Moderate soiling on titlepage slight edge wear to first few leaves. <br> <br> Second French edition following the first French edition of 1598. Lodewijcksz gives an account of the first Dutch expedition to the East Indies under Cornelis Houtman from 1595 to 1597. The information collected by Houtman on the spice trade convinced the Dutch they could compete with Portugal's monopoly in the East Indies and his narrative served to initiate the explosion of Dutch trading at the turn of the century. <br> <br> "Like the English Houtman's men suffered so severely from scurvy that they had to put in at the Cape of Good Hope and at Antongil Bay in Madagascar to recuperate. But they then sailed straight across the Indian Ocean to the Straits of Sunda and dropped anchor at Bantam in Java without the loss of a ship. At this port the center of the Javanese pepper trade a long time was spent. Both natives and Portuguese showed considerable hostility and Houtman and some of his men were imprisoned. However the Dutch succeeded in making a commercial treaty and departed with a good cargo. They proceeded eastward to Bali and then returned along the south coast of Java thereby acquiring a more correct impression of the width of the island than had prevailed and laid the ghost of Java's being the northern part of the Southern Continent.the Dutch skipper had enough to show for his venture to inspire the merchants of Amsterdam with a determination to exploit the trade" - Penrose. <br> <br> 2 Neck Jacob Cornelissoon van: LE SECOND LIVRE IOURNAL OU COMPTOIR CONTENANT LE VRAY DISCOURS ET NARRATION HISTORIQUE. Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. Two parts. 228 leaves. Titlepages with engraved illustrations twenty-two in-text engravings including one map two in-text woodcuts. <br> <br> Second French edition following the first French edition of 1601. Van Neck who represented the Verre Company commanded three ships which were part of the first successful Dutch trading voyage to the region. The other two ships were commanded by Wybrand Van Warwijck and Jacob Van Heemskerk. Van Neck's vessel became separated from the other two after rounding the Cape of Good Hope and the three did not reunite again until his arrival in Java in late December 1598. Unlike his Dutch predecessor Cornelis Houtman who three years earlier had seized the port of Bantam Van Neck dealt diplomatically with the natives. "Rather than rejecting the inflated prices asked by the local ruler he offered to pay over the odds in order to cement a lasting relationship.Van Neck's was the most profitable of the pre-VOC Dutch East India Company voyages. Despite the apparently high price paid for spices he netted a profit of 300 per cent on his overall costs. In 1601 fourteen fleets comprising sixty-five ships sailed for the East Indies but by that time competition between rival Dutch operators as well as with the Portuguese had inflated prices and none were as successful as Van Neck's first enterprise" - Howgego. While focused on activity in the East Indies EUROPEAN AMERICANA notes the text includes references to Brazil and tobacco from the West Indies. The second part of this 1609 French edition an eight-page appendix of words spoken in Java and Malay includes word lists in French printed in roman type Malay in italic type and Javanese in civilité. <br> <br> Two of the most important of the pioneering French voyages to the Far East bound together as probably issued in this edition.

30782<p>two letters octavo 5 pages written in ink on State Department letterhead paper lightly tanned else in very good clean and legible condition.</p><p> Hollander writes:</p><p> "… I have received your letter of the eleventh instant with the copy of the Official Gazette enclosed. I thank you very much for the trouble to which you have gone and shall welcome any further material you may obtain. President Roosevelt has asked me to supplement the preliminary reconnaissance which I made in Santo Domingo with a detailed written report. I shall begin work upon this at once and it is very likely that in connection therewith I shall revisit the Island late in the summer. </p><p> It will be important for me to remain in as close touch as possible with political and other developments in the Island. You of all persons are qualified to give this information with respect to perhaps the most serious phase. I should therefore be very glad indeed if you could write me from time to time as fully as practicable concerning the situation…"</p><p> "… thank you for the documents … viz. the budget and the list of licenses of the municipality of Monte Cristi. I hope to return to Santo Domingo later in the summer and would be very glad to hear from time to time in regard to any developments that may occur before my return …"</p><p> The Dominican Republic which shared the island of Hispaniola with Haiti was politically unstable and financially bankrupt when Theodore Roosevelt became President of the United States. Unable to pay its national debts the country faced the threat of military action by France and other European creditor powers. To prevent European intervention and thus protect the routes to the future Panama Canal then under construction Roosevelt pursuing his own version of the Monroe Doctrine and "Big Stick Diplomacy" assumed a virtual protectorate over the country guaranteeing its territorial integrity against European intervention while agreeing to help pay its European debts by taking over the Dominican Customs the Republic's main source of revenue. With the unstated threat of landing US Marines if necessary Roosevelt also sent Jacob Hollander head of the Department of Political Economy at Johns Hopkins University to the island to make sure that the country put its "financial house in order." </p><p> Hollander descended from German-Jewish immigrants and a leader of the Baltimore Jewish community had already served President McKinley Roosevelt's predecessor by negotiating a monetary agreement with the leading European powers; and by revising the tax laws of Puerto Rico. After writing these letters he was to spend the next five years in the financial reorganization of the Dominican public debt. </p> Hollander's correspondent US Naval Commander Edwards F. Leiper was serving as Executive Officer of a US Navy warship sent to the Dominican Republic "to protect American interests" when the Admiral commanding naval forces in the Caribbean of orders from Washington "peaceably" – with an accompanying Marine guard – installed Leiper as Customs Collector at Monte Cristi a little town on the northwest coast of the island on the very day that an armed mob attacked the Customs House. Despite the outrage of the local Dominican Governor the Admiral made it clear that if any "harm befell" Leiper he would not hesitate to land a full detachment of Marines. By the time Hollander arrived for his "preliminary reconnaissance" the Dominicans had become angrily accustomed to indefinite US domination books
