1800284241800. Engraving 5 x 4 inches. Light soiling. A few contemporary ink notations on verso. Engraved portrait of Governor Anne Joseph Hippolyte de Maurès Comte de Malartic governor of the island of Mauritius. The portrait is a line-drawing done in profile and framed in an oval. Flags flank either side of the oval frame and it is captioned beneath. There is some light wear to the tiny imprint information causing it to be slightly obscured but it is possible that the illustrator's name is "Girouai" and the engraver may be "Noiret." The engraving is a bit crude and printed on laid paper. It is likely that it was done shortly after Malartic's death in 1800. A most unusual and exotic image a tribute to the rich culture of printing that flourished on the remote island in the south Indian Ocean. unknown

Assemblée Generale de la Colonie. Séance du Vingt-Deux Février 1791 caption title

1791284301791. Folio. 10 3/4 x 8 1/4 inches. 24pp. Stitched as issued. Top corner of first leaf torn away affecting several lines of text. Lightly dampstained and worn throughout. Still very good. Early and unrecorded imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius also known as the Ile de France. Issued at a critical moment at the beginning of the French Revolution the lengthy text concerns the government and judiciary of the island together with a proclamation by the King dated August 24 1790. The text nominally recognizes the authority of the King while taking measures to establish major autonomy of local government. The Dutch were the first Europeans to become interested in the island taking possession in 1598. After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton in 1710 the Dutch abandoned the colony. The French soon claimed it as "Ile de France" and the island remained under the control of the French East India Company until 1767. During the long war between France and England at the beginning of the 19th century Mauritius proved to be an important strategic naval base and as a result the British took charge of the island in 1810 and the Treaty of Paris confirmed official British possession in 1814. It remained an important sugar producing colony and in the 20th century agricultural production was expanded to include tea rice and other produce. Printing began on Mauritius in 1768. During the French period until 1810 only about 400 imprints were produced mostly in the form of official documents and newspapers though there are also almanacs and a few other items. All are quite rare. No copies located in OCLC and not recorded by Toussaint in his bibliography of Mauritius imprints. unknown

Le Préfet Apostolique aux Colons de l'Isle de France. The Apostolic Prefect to the Settlers of the Isle of France

178828431Au Port-Louis Isle de France: Imprimerie Royale Rue de l'Hôpital. Printed by François Nicolas Bolle b. 1741 1788. Folio. 12 3/4 x 8 inches. 2 pp. letterpress broadsheet printed on recto and verso on a blue laid paper with watermark and attractive printer's ornaments; a list of 12 steps numbered I-XII for establishing an Apostolic Bureau of Charity under a new governmental administration. Early Mauritius imprint printed at the dawn of the French Revolution from when the island was the French colony of Isle de France; this letterpress broadside a "fine specimen of the typographic art" announces the creation of an Apostolic Bureau of Charity. Toussaint Early and unrecorded imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius then known as the Isle de France. Isle de France was a French colony in the Indian Ocean from 1715 to 1810 comprising the African country in the Mascarene Islands now known as Mauritius and its dependent territories. It was governed by the French East India Company and formed part of the French colonial empire. Under the French the island witnessed major changes including the importation of enslaved people and the undertaking of vast infrastructural works that transformed the capital Port-Louis into a major center of international shipping warehousing and commerce. The present text contains twelve articles for establishing a Bureau de Charité for the island. The Bureau was announced by the Apostolic Prefect Charles Joseph Darthé who had been appointed by the Pope. Apostolic Prefects were Ecclesiastics representing the Holy See at the head of a territorial constituency in a mission country here being the Isle de France. Often when printing was introduced into a new land such as here clergy would be the only people with access to printing presses besides government officials. However Mauritius is something of an exception to this rule: "priests had little to do with printing . . . there is practically nothing worth recording in the way of religious publications." Toussaint The charitable plan laid out by the Prefect not unlike current-day means-tested social programs is almost absurdly complex in its bureaucratic levers and requirements. Pierre Saunois b. 1730 brought the first printing press to Mauritius in 1767. The first known imprint was a short poem by Saunois dedicated to the Dauphine of France Marie Josèphe de Saxe in 1768. The first newspaper and the first book a French-Malagasy phrase-book for missionaries appeared in 1773. During the French colonial period until the island's annexation by Britain in 1810 the output of Isle de France's early presses included besides a number of official publications several books of literary or scientific interest some of which were important enough to be commended by the Académie des Sciences an especially erudite series of almanacs written by Laurent Masson-Abraham from 1769 to 1794 and newspapers the earliest of which was issued in 1773. But also included were "quite a number of books and pamphlets representative of every branch of intellectual activity: scientific literary religious and political." Toussaint If one considers the small size of this island 710 square miles its isolated position and that its European population was barely 10000 strong in 1810 "its achievement in this field appears all the more remarkable." Toussaint About 400 imprints are extant of those that were produced in the Isle de France from 1768-1810; they are scattered in repositiories in Mauritius France and England the most important collection of which is the Mauritius Archives. All are rare. No copies of this broadside are located in OCLC and it was not recorded by Toussaint any of his bibliographies of Mauritius imprints. The Dutch were the first Europeans to become interested in the island taking possession in 1598. After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton the Dutch abandoned the colony in 1710. The French soon claimed it as "Isle de France" and the island remained under the control of the French East India Company until 1767. During the long war between France and England at the beginning of the nineteenth century Mauritius proved to be an important strategic naval base and as a result the British took the island in 1810. The Treaty of Paris confirmed official British possession in 1814. It remained an important sugar producing colony and in the twentieth century its agricultural production expanded to include tea rice and other crops.

1704220248 378 12 pp. With an engraved frontispiece.Contemporary mottled calf with ribbed and gold-tooled spine sprinkled edges.Rare first and only edition of a peculiar and polemical work which uses a female abecedarium to attack Catholic invective against women. Arranged alphabetically—from Avidum animal to Zelus Zelotipus—the author ironically surveys women's wit eloquence moral qualities and physical appearance combining satire polemic and learned rhetoric. The book also offers insight into early-eighteenth-century Protestant debates on marriage gender and Catholic religious culture. The author was an Amsterdam merchant and former Catholic priest who converted to Calvinism and became known for his vehemently anti-Catholic writings often directed against monastic life and clerical celibacy. Zeege-pralende lof-tooneel der vrouwelyke sexe must be read within this broader religious and ideological agenda: Johannes Mauritius presents Catholic denunciations of women as a deliberate strategy employed by "the Papists" to justify the prohibition of marriage and to lure men into the cloister. He was the father of the prodigy poet jurist and later Suriname governor Joan Jacob Mauricius 1692–1768 whose early intellectual development was shaped by his father's militant anti-Catholicism and literary ambitions.Condition: corners slightly bumped front joint splitting. Small faint stain on the first few pages see pictures. Otherwise in very good condition.Reference: Muller 482; De Vries 190; Scheepers I 452. Johannes Strander

Diaz's account is written in an unassuming colloquial style and has both historical and artistic value." A.S.W. Rosenstock 19 #193: "All the later histories of America have acknowledged their debt to Bernal Diaz and his work has been acclaimed one of the most valuable source books of the period." The author was an original member of Cortez’s expedition to conquer the Aztec nation. He was involved in the initial planning stages all the way to its culmination. One of the most important sources on the conquest of the Aztec Empire and Mexico.

Illustrated with 40 full-page and folding plates and 42 engraved vignettes. Folio. Bound in full mid-18th century English paneled calf expertly rebacked with raised bands and morocco spine label. A La Haye Chez Pierre Gosse Junior . . . 1756. First Edition.Maurice Comte de Saxe was the greatest French military general of the 18th century. Having been born as the illegitimate son of Augustus II King of Poland he eventually rose to become Marshall of France. His greatest exploits came during the War of the Austrian Succession where he seized Prague by surprise in a daring invasion captured the fortress of Eger Cheb and gained his famous victory at Fontenoy. The latter made possible the 1745 Jacobite rising and was credited by Napoleon with preserving the Ancien Regime in France for a further 30 years.Saxe's Reveries is one of the great classics of 18th century military strategy and theory. "He puts forward his ideal military model his 'legion' and taking issue with the views and practices of his age he advances many original ideas. However rather than discussing his military doctrines the aim of this book is to elucidate the intellectual premises that dominated his mind: he saw a need to subject military affairs to reasoned criticism and intellectual treatment and the ensuing military doctrines were perceived as forming a definitive system." Gat Origins of Military Thought.With the bookplate of the United Service Institution presented by Major General Samuel Lambert. Samuel Lambert served with distinction in the campaign under Sir John Moore in 1808-09 and in the expedition to Walcheren in the later year. He was engaged in the defense of Cadiz in 1810 - 1811 and served throughout the peninsular campaigns of 1812 1813 and 1814. He died in 1848 while serving as Commander of Her Majesty's Forces in Jamaica. Minor wear to binding at edges and corners; o/w a fine wide-margined copy.
