1783WRCAM20585Madrid: En la Imprenta Real 1783. 494pp. in Spanish and French plus a map. Small quarto. Original plain wrappers. Spine bit chipped. A crisp near fine copy. In a half morocco and cloth case. This is the official Spanish printing of the treaty in which England and Spain make peace in the American Revolution.

1783WRCAM15743Paris 1783. 8pp. Tall folio designed to be folded with docket title sideways on last leaf. Later marbled boards leather label. Near fine. A French printing of the treaty between Spain and England adopted as part of the general peace of Sept. 3 1783. Through this treaty Spain reacquired the Floridas and the Mediterranean island of Minorca while Britain retained Gibraltar and acquired the Bahamas. This printing is unrecorded so far as we can discover. It seems to have been printed for the use of the French commissioners at the time of signing and is in folio form with docket printed on the side so that it could be folded and put in a file. It probably represents a printing during the later stages of the negotiation process. OCLC locates only microfiche copies made from an original in the Public Archives of Canada. Rare. DAVENPORT 174.
