1790K1VF2DNXCCLTSt. Petersburg 1790. Folio. 30 x 20 and 29.5 x 20.5 cm. Imperial Printing Office Unsewn marbled paper spine ad 1; side stitched blue paper spine ad 2. With the text in Russian and French in parallel columns and with ornamental rules at the head of each page. 10; 20 pp. First and only editions of two peace treaties between Catherine the Great of Russia and Gustav III of Sweden which concluded the Russo-Swedish war of 1788-1790 each page with the Russian text in the left column and the French text in the right column. The Treaty of Värälä signed on 14 August 1790 though here dated 6 August by Catherine's representative Otto Heinrich Igelström and Gustav II's proxy Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt effectively restored the pre-war status quo and barred Russia from interferring in Swedish internal affairs which had been one of the reasons Gustav III a cousin of Catherine the Great declared war on Russia in 1788. After initial defeats Sweden was able to destroy nearly a third of the Russian fleet at sea. The second treaty signed on 19 October 1791 at Drottningholm outside of Stockholm established a close military alliance between Sweden and the Russian Empire with each power pledging active support and Catherine agreeing to pay Sweden annual subsidies. Since it was signed with a keen eye on the French Revolution the treaty can been seen as a predecessor to the war of the first coalition of 1792-1797 though neither Russia nor Sweden participated in the latter. Both are printed on Russian paper with cyrillic names and initials in the watermarks.

1785WRCAM34347Stockholm 1785. 48pp. printed in double columns in parallel French and Swedish. The notice of the American ratification on the final three pages is printed in Swedish and English. Small quarto. Gathered signatures stitched. Contemporary ownership signature at bottom of titlepage. Fine. Untrimmed. This is only the third treaty made by the United States with a power other than France the others were with the Netherlands in 1782 and the peace treaty with Britain of 1783 and by it Sweden became the fourth nation to officially recognize the United States. Benjamin Franklin was the American negotiator and this treaty offers good evidence of his diplomatic activities in Europe beyond his work with the French and peace negotiations with the British. Although the treaty was concluded on April 3 1783 see Evans 18245 for a broadside announcing the event it was not printed until this Stockholm publication. It was very likely printed in a very small edition for official use and certainly not generally circulated. Sweden was one of the major maritime powers of the period and the conclusion of this treaty was an important step forward for the American negotiations with the British in Paris. By the treaty the United States and Sweden grant each other most-favored nation trade status agree on rules for trade in times of peace and war and establish a framework for exchanging consular representation. While it follows Franco-American treaties and consular accords the French treaties were colored by the mutual state of war with Great Britain. This is the first regular treaty of friendship and commerce between the United States and a neutral power. MALLOY p.1724. SABIN 100931. unknown books
