17641400London: J. Dodsley 1764. Scare first edition of this document relating to the British occupation of Manila during the Anglo-Spanish War of 1762-3 and an interesting case of international law. In September of 1762 under the command of Draper and Cornish a British fleet of 13 ships containing over 6000 men attacked Manila and following a difficult landing quickly dispatched the Spanish garrison which they outnumbered 10 to 1.They entered the city on October 5 and part of the terms of capitulation was that Spain would pay the British an indemnity of 4 million pesos roughly a million pounds for not pillaging the city. The British evacuated in 1764 when hostilities ceased and Draper enjoyed the highly unusual privilege of presenting the standards of Spain taken in Manila to his alma mater Kings College Cambridge. But the Spanish did not honor this gentlemans agreement claiming that Draper dealt with an unauthorized agent that he himself broke the terms of the agreement etc. In order to press his claim which amounted to £25000 he published the present tract to pressure his government to collect. The tract contains a brief letter to the British Secretary of State outlining his grievance; a bilingual summary in English and French of the Spanish ambassadors grounds for not complying with the terms of the agreement; extracts from the treaty; a refutation by Draper of the claim that he dealt with an unauthorized agent; and an English language treaty signed by the original parties in Manila. But with hostilities over and their attention occupied by other foreign adventures chief among them America the British were in no position to insist and the suit was eventually abandoned.Griffin Bibliography of the Philippines p. 125; Dictionary of National Biography compact ed. I.573. 8vo. 43 pp. Bound in blue wrappers and housed in protective buckram case with title gilt on spine. Minor foxing in margins of final leaves but otherwise absolutely mint. J. Dodsley hardcover
