FIRST EDITION. John Ogilby was a Scottish translator impresario publisher and cartographer. Ogilby established Ireland's first theatre in Werburgh Street Dublin and following the Restoration that country's first Theatre Royal. Ogilby played a significant part in arrangements for the coronation of King Charles II. Following the Great Fire of 1666 Ogilby's large-scale map of the City of London was founded on precise survey work and his Britannia is the first road atlas of England and Wales to be based on surveys and measurements and drawn to scale. <br> During the Great Fire of London in 1666 Ogilby's house in Shoe Lane together with its printing works and most of his stock was destroyed; he estimated he had lost Å3000. After the Great Fire the Corporation of London appointed Ogilby and his wife's grandson William Morgan as "sworn viewers" members of a group of four trustworthy gentlemen directed by Robert Hooke to plot disputed property in the city. Ogilby later made what he called "the most accurate Survey of the City of London and Libertyes therof that has ever been done". By 1668 he had a new house in Whitefriars and was ready to resume his printing and publishing work.<br> Ogilby's next major venture was a series of atlases of China Japan Africa Asia and America. The first of these was An Embassy from the East India Company of the United Provinces to the Grand Tartar Cham Emperor of China which was published in 1689. This book was substantially a translation of Johan Nieuhof's Dutch publication of the same name with English copies of the Dutch engravings. Ogilby's Africa appeared in 1670 and was followed in rapid succession by Atlas Japanennsis 1670 America 1671 Atlas Chinensis 1671 and Asia 1673. In 1671 in response to his proposal to make a detailed survey and atlas of Great Britain the King appointed Ogilby Royal Cosmographer. Thus at about the age of 70 and with the scientific advice of Robert Hooke58 Ogilby began work on Britannia the project for which he is best known among cartographers.

The anonymous author of this work attempts to refute the "slanderous imputations" of the work Justification of the Directors of the Netherlands East-India Company reprinted here in full with a separate title following page 223. He proclaims that it is "such a tedious rhapsody of fictitious fallacious inferences and arguments confusedly mixt with some distorted truths spun out. that it would be tiresome to the reader to trace all the prevarication's mis-recitals and sophistry contained in it. I shall proceed to detect his willful mistakes by which he endeavours to honest many injurious and insolent violations of right done by the Dutch towards the English in India directly contrary to the Articles of Peace."

166256266Rotterdam: Floris Willemsen 1662. 7pp. 1 vols. Small 4to. Sewn. Slightly age-darkened but sound. 7pp. 1 vols. Small 4to. Treachery the Dutch and the Danes - West Africa 1662. A very rare pamphlet related to the Dutch West India Company and its settlements in Guinea offering a glimpse of the growing competition among European powers for the slave trade between West Africa and the West Indies. Competition was particularly sharp between the powerful Dutch West India Company and the Danish African Company which had also recently established settlments in Guinea. Against this background emerges the strange story of one Isaac Coymans an Amsterdam merchant who plotted to murder the settlers of a Dutch colony and turn it over to the Danish Crown. He was tried and convicted and this rare pamphlet publishes the sentence of the court: Coymans was imprisoned for six years banished for life from the 7 Dutch Provinces and fined 20000 florins.<br/>It is rare: OCLC locates only one copy in the United States Harvard and four in the Netherlands.

1669WRCAM15822Paris 1669. 7pp. Small quarto. Modern boards leather label. Light soiling around the edges. Very good. A variant issue with a slightly different title of this important edict which allows members of the nobility to trade by sea without foregoing any of their privileges. Previously their activities had been circumscribed by ordinances preventing their entering commerce. Apparently a catalyst for this edict was the formation of the Compagnie des Indes in 1664 which is specifically mentioned in the text. A note on the last page states that this copy was collated against the King's Ministry copy. OCLC locates only one copy at the University of Oxford. Rare.
