The former had served with distinction during the both the Seven Years' War and the American War of Independence. Following the latter conflict Keppel held his subordinate admiral Palliser responsible for the poor state of the Navy's fortunes in particular the defeat at the First Battle of Ushant considering Palliser's conduct as a deliberate betrayal. Keppel began a campaign of calumny the outcome being a series of scandalous scenes in parliament and subsequent trials - each side accusing the other of treason. Keppel was the first to be tried and eventually acquitted in 1779 with Palliser enduring the same shortly thereafter.

Réflexions sur la colonie françoise de la Guyane

17882680Paris: S.n. 1788. First edition. Sewn binding. Protected with blank paper wrappers. Title and date in ink on the front cover by a later neat hand. Printed on thick paper. Partly uncut untrimmed. With a few contemporary corrections in the text in ink like in other copies. Some stains on the cover. Inside clean. Overall in fine condition. First edition. Sewn binding. Protected with blank paper wrappers. 6 52 2 p. A scarce and interesting source of the French efforts to colonize Guiana in the late 18th century. By the Treaty of Paris in 1763 France lost almost all her possessions in the Americas thus the relevance of her remaining islands on the Antilles and the territories in the Guianas dramatically increased. The first ill-fated attempt to colonize Guiana with some 12000 men in 1763 failed with a loss of about ten thousand settlers killed by tropical diseases and hostile natives. The second endeavor in 1776 was much more successful. Under the administration of Pierre-Victor Malouet and with the assistance of the Swiss engineer Jean Samuel Guisan â€” and the heavy use of slave work â€” France established flourishing agriculture in the colony. This period ended very soon in the early 1790s when French Guiana was partly turned into a penal colony for political prisoners of the Revolution. The present 1788 pamphlet describes the ill-fated first and the more successful second wave of colonization and designs an administrative plan based on slave work for the future success of the colony. Many chapters deal with the slaves and their work and the author states that the â€œgovernment should pay for about 3000 African slaves to be introduced annually to populate Guyane until they are numerous enough to reproduce themselves.â€ p. 15 The essay was published anonymously but the authorâ€™s name and title were added in ink by a contemporary hand to the title page of the copy held at the British Library however for the most part it remained indecipherable to us: Par M.

Relacion de los servicios de Don Francisco Ximenez Parrado hasta el tiempo que fue destinado para primer instructor de la Escuela de Navegación para este Departamiento de Cartografia año de 1779

1779154781Spain: 1779. Visually appealing manuscript offering a valuable insight into the Spanish naval empire in the Caribbean Fascinating official service record of don Francisco Ximenez Parrado an officer of the Spanish Navy who served during the War of Jenkin's Ear 1739-48. This detailed account signed by Parrado enumerates his services from 1721 to 1779 listing naval campaigns many of them in the Americas. During his career Parrado participated in a range of operations; coastal patrols surveys and some significant naval engagements particularly against the British. In 1729 Parrado joined the Fuerte 60 under don Domingo Justiniani which sailed from Cadiz on 19 December in company with the two-decker frigate Nuestra Señora del Carmen 54. En route to Cartagena the two ships passed Tobago the coasts of Trinidad Margarita Cumana and Caracas. Once at Cartagena they commenced cruising the coasts of Terra Firme Spain's mainland possessions from the Caribbean to the Gulf of Mexico in search of illicit traders. In less than a year they had captured some six frigates and seven sloops carrying contraband off the coast of Venezuela. During the Summer of 1736 Parrado was in the Conquistador under don Blas de Lezo which was under repair in Spain before its embarkation for Cartagena early in 1737 with 1891 tons of cargo and brigadier don Jose Ambrosio the new governor of Chile aboard. The Conquistador remained at Cartagena on coast guard duties until she was scuttled by de Lezo during the battle of Cartagena in 1741 as part of the blockade of Vice-Admiral Edward Vernon's massive invasion assault. British failure here was to prove one of the pivotal moments of the War of Jenkins's Ear. Parrado is shown as having stayed in Cartagena until 1744 after which it seems he joined don Benito Antonio de Espinola in Havana taking part in the 1745 commissioning voyage of the Santa Teresa de Jesus 64 better known as the Dragon. The manuscript details an engagement in that year with an unnamed British vessel of 60 guns "quese avisto diferentes vezes frente del Puerto" "had been seen several times outside the port ". The Dragon's main mast was split and she was forced the quit the battle. The document also notes Parrado's presence in Tortuga Cabo de San Antonio Puerto Rico and Havana during 1746. The record details Parrada's career under four headings: Empleos "Employments" Campañas "Campaigns" outlined in chronological order Comiciones en que fue Empleado "Commissions in which he was employed" and Funciones en la America "Dutiess in America". Parrado seems to have occupied seven different positions during his career showing a clear ascent through the ranks ; Marinero Agregado a los Pilotos "Sailor attached to the pilots" Arnillero "Gunsmith" with a note that he continued in his role with the pilots Pilotín "Pilot's Assistant" Segundo Piloto "Second pilot" Primer Piloto "First pilot" Alférez de Navío "Frigate lieutenant" a junior watch officer and Teniente de Fragata "First lieutenant" a full lieutenant. Parrado later became the principal teacher at the School of Navigation in Cartagena. This fascinating document offers some welcome insight into a single career during a time of considerable conflict taking place on a world-wide stage. 4 pp. manuscript in neat clearly legible hand on a single bifolium elaborately engraved cartouche to the first page incorporating a three-master atop and enclosing a tabulated manuscript summary of Parrado's postings and positions. Light toning and minor staining. A very good example. Clowes The Royal Navy vol. 3. unknown

FINDING LONGITUDE: HARRISON'S MARINE TIMEKEEPERS 1765Biblio.com

Longitude at Sea and John Harrison 1765. A succinct account of the proceedings relative to the discovery of the longitude at sea by means of artificial time-keepers particularly Mr Harrison's. An original article from the Annual Register for 1765

1765358108Annual Register London 1765. Booklet - Unbound Pages. Very Good Condition. 21 pages. This 1765 article published in The Annual Register provides a detailed account of John Harrison's groundbreaking work in solving the longitude problem at sea through the use of artificial time-keepers. Harrison an English clockmaker developed the marine chronometer a device that allowed sailors to accurately determine their longitude while at sea. His invention was crucial for safe navigation reducing the risk of ships becoming lost or wrecked due to miscalculations. The article outlines the proceedings and debates surrounding Harrison's work including his struggles with the Longitude Board which was reluctant to grant him the full 20000 prize promised under the 1714 Longitude Act. Despite proving the accuracy of his time-keepers Harrison faced political opposition and bureaucratic delays before finally receiving recognition for his achievements. Published at around the same time that Harrison's book of a similar title was published this contemporary 21 page account quotes Harrison extensively and represents the opinions and ideas regarding navigation from the perspective of the time. An authentic standalone article extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction but an original work in its own right.
