Official account of the the civil trial between Louisa Junkers on account of her daughter Maria Elisabeth against Jacob Pesters and his son Jan the last of whom was accused of having courted Maria Elisabeth in such a way as to be of 'disadvantage' to her. Jacob Pesters accused in name of his son Jan Pesters who was still a minor in his turn Maria Elisabeth Junkers of plotting to poison his son. To prove this he presented the court with numerous letters the second part of this book which turned out to be fabricated and false. In the subsequent criminal trial Jacob Peters is convicted to ""Swaart over het Hooft'' a public humiliation on the scaffold where the executioner swings his sword in a frightening way over the head of a kneeling sentenced person next to life long house arrest at his own costs and a fine of 20.000 pounds. hardcover
177313873Paris: Chez Valade 1773 First published in Neuchâtel though the title-page says "Londres" the previous year this is an early perhaps the first book-length commentary on Holbach's Le Systême de la Nature which was published in Amsterdam in 1770 with a bogus London imprint. Printing and the Mind of Man notes: "Holbach's target was the very idea of God. Even Voltaire was moved to reply in defense of religion by this "bible of materialism" P.M.M. 215. Contemporary mottled calf gilt spine with burgundy morocco spine label edges stained red. Two volumes in one twelvemo. With nine cancel leaves bound in at the end. Binding extremities lightly rubbed. A very good clean copy. In the preface the editor states that he has made various textual changes and has suppressed certain passages without Holland's permission so that the book could have a wider distribution. This copy is interesting in that it contains both Holland's 1742-1784 original text and the editor's "improvements." He also made various improvements to Holland's French Holland not being a native French speaker. This first edition of his commentary is rare: OCLC lists eleven copies eight in North America Yale LSU Michigan Boston Public Library Oklahoma Texas and Montreal. It is uncertain whether the first edition has the uncorrected text which we see in the cancels or something even different. Chez Valade, unknown

He fled his hometown of Alkmaar in fear he would be captured by the Court of Holland. Initially the Van der Mieden family was a wealthy noble family with a good reputation. Jacob's father Aris was mayor of the city of Alkmaar Jacob was appointed bailiff of Nieuwburgen in 1731. Here one of his judicial officers ran a reign of terror. The people felt that bailiff Jacob was protecting his officer which made him very unpopular. Jacob was also lord of Callantsoog where he imprisoned the former bailiff Jan Harge in 1740 after Harge was being accused of abuse of office. The problem was that he did so under such bad conditions that the wife of Harge complained to the Court of Holland after which Harge was exonorated and the Court of Holland turned to Van der Mierde. Out of fear of being put behind bars he fled to Lent near Nijmegen. His wife Susanna Doubleth appealed the court and advocated that her husband would be tried by the local court in Alkmaar instead of the Court of Holland. These request are added in this collection. The last ordinance in the collection is the conviction of his younger brother Adriaan counselor of the Court of Holland who was accused of co-writing the requests with Susanna which were quite libel and defamatory undermining the Court of Holland as the highest judiciary institution of Holland. Adriaan was suspended from the court in 1747. The fate of Jacob van der Mieden remains unclear.With a manuscript annotation on the title page signed by G.J. van Persijn 1791.

1544ABC_46700The Hague: sold by Frans Duyck Pietersz. colophon: Delft printed by Symon Jansz. 1544. Modern half brown buckram marbled paper sides blue endpapers with an older ca. 1840 front wrapper bound in. 4to. With the woodcut crowned coat of arms of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V with the order of the Golden Fleece a column on either side and the motto plus oultre on the title-page. Set in 2 sizes of textura gothic type with 2 lombardic initials cast type. First and only edition of a rare ordinance printed in Delft. The ordinance promulgated 19 May 1544 tried to reduce or at least prevent a further rise in crime in Holland and even in other parts of the Holy Roman Empire by addressing the negligence of officers in enforcing the law. It notes that crime rates - from murders to fraud and other smaller incidents - are rising in Holland and across the Holy Roman Empire because officers of the law are failing to do their jobs in the eyes of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and other lower ranking officials like the stadtholders in the Low Countries. The present ordinance addresses problems concerning the enabling fraudulent behaviour towards creditors of any kind authorities too readily issuing letters permitting deferment of payment resulting in an exorbitant volume of unpaid debts. In total the ordinance contains 40 rules and regulations mainly for officers of the law but also for criminals and others profiting from the lack of law enforcement decreed and published with the intent of bringing down crime rates and reminding officers of their duties. The printer Simon Jansz. in Delft printed the ordinance in two issues the present for Frans Duyck Pietersz. in the Hague and the other with his own imprint Typ. Batava 5796 2 copies.With contemporary marginal annotations and underlining of the text in pen.

The letter dated 11 February 1685; pp. 2-22 is a plea for improvement of the deplorable financial state of the defense especially at the land side after the Rampjaar 1672 and the subsequent wars with France which ended in the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678-79. The answer of Amsterdam dated 14 February 1685; pp. 22-24 is not disobliging: their representatives are certainly willing to further discuss the matter especially the amelioration if the navy.With the bookplate of the city library of Dordrecht on the front board.
