1680ABC_46098Cologne recté: Amsterdam 1680. 4to. Pierre Marteau" 19th-century brown paper wrappers. With the woodcut English royal arms on the title-page. 8 pp. Extremely rare pamphlet with the text - in French - of the Anglo-Dutch defensive alliance of 3 March 1678. In May 1672 French forces had invaded the Dutch Republic and initially seemed to have achieved an overwhelming victory the so-called Rampjaar 1672. England supported France in what became the Second Anglo-Dutch maritime war 1672-1674. By late July 1672 however the Dutch position had stabilized thanks to the new Stadholder Willem III. Concern about French gains led to the August 1673 Treaty of the Hague between the Republic Brandenburg-Prussia the Emperor Leopold and King Charles II of Spain; in early 1674 England and the Dutch made peace in the Treaty of Westminster. In November 1677 Willem III married his cousin Mary niece of King Charles II of England. In the meantime peace talks had begun in 1676 in Nijmegen resulting in an Anglo-Dutch defensive alliance concluded on the 3rd of March 1678 almost a half year before the treaty was signed in August. But English troops arrived in significant numbers only in late May allowing King Louis XIV to improve his negotiating position by capturing Ghent on the same day the alliance was concluded on 3 March.Untrimmed and with bolts unopened.
