18820477Paris, A. Degorge-Cadot, 1882. Seule et unique édition. Un volume in-12 de 18 x 12 cm pour (vi) 313 pp. Relié pleine toile vert bouteille éditeur. Double encadrement sur les plats, décorations sur le plat de couverture et au dos, monogramme de l'éditeur au plat arrière. Ancien livre de bibliothèque avec une étiquette assez ancienne en queue. Tampons habituels aux premières pages. Rousseurs éparses. Ce livre relève un réel défi : condenser l'histoire de tous les États au sud des États-Unis en un seul petit livre. Si l'Introduction se contente de comparer la colonisation anglo-saxonne à la colonisation espagnole, qui s'est démarquée par son "absolutisme" et sa volonté d'isoler ses colonies du reste du monde "au profit exclusif de la métropole", en ignorant le Portugal et sa très vaste colonie, le livre consacre ensuite pas moins de trois chapitres au Brésil avant de repasser à l'isthme central, à la "Nouvelle-Grenade" et même à Cuba.

Old library stamps on first two leaves; contemporary ownership inscription on titlepage. Errata slip pasted to verso of titlepage. Very good. Untrimmed. In 1807 Gen. John Whitelocke was sent to the Rio de la Plata with a large force. His goal was to reinforce British troops already operating there and in Argentina and to seize Buenos Aires a move designed to open up the markets of South America to British commerce and replace those lost on the Continent by Napoleon's blockade. Despite his large force Whitelocke proceeded cautiously and ineptly further hampered by bad weather. The assault on Buenos Aires was met by civilian as well as military resistance when the British had expected local merchants to welcome them with open arms. Craufurd commanded a light brigade which led the attack on Buenos Aires and successfully achieved its objectives. However a large part of the attacking force was cut off and forced to surrender while Whitelocke napped in his tent and Craufurd's brigade was ordered to surrender with the rest of the British force. Santiago Liniers the Spanish commander proposed a truce if the British would promise to withdraw in two months but said he could not answer for the safety of the prisoners if the attack was renewed. Feeling that the object of the expedition was now untenable Whitelocke accepted those terms. The British withdrew to Montevideo and then to England losing what might have been a foothold in South America. Whitelocke was the subject of the greatest scorn on returning to England where he was court-martialed and cashiered. Though this work is sometimes attributed to Gen. Whitelocke the accusatory and wounded tone of the narrative makes that unlikely. SABIN 103672. PALAU 375051. HALKETT & LAING 1 p.164. DNB online. hardcover books
