Arranged alphabetically—from <em>Avidum animal</em> to <em>Zelus Zelotipus</em>—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.<br />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. <em>Zeege-pralende lof-tooneel der vrouwelyke sexe</em> 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.</p><p><strong>Condition: </strong>corners slightly bumped front joint splitting.

A handsome copy.<br /><br />ESTC t97717 <br />Maurice Comte de Saxe 1696-1750 one of the most notable and successful military commanders of the eighteenth century was an illegitimate son of Augustus II King of Poland and Elector of Saxony. He was engaged in and immersed in military engagements and soldiering from his early youth and served successively in the armies of the Holy Roman Empire the Austrian army and France with the title of Marshal General of French being specially revived for him in the last of these. Characteristic of his military methods were the use of surprise and of mobile warfare by harassing a superior force without head-on conflict until he was in a position to engage it in a decisive battle. The most celebrated of his victories the brilliant and decisive defeat of the English at the Battle of Fontenoy in 1745 was an exemplar of his methods. His book on the art of war <i>Mes Rêverie</i>s was first postumously published in 1757.In the book Saxe subjected military affairs to reasoned criticism with a view to creating military doctrines based on universal principles. "Written following Prussian expansion during the War of the Austrian Succession Saxe in the book rejected their rigid discipline; arguing the French character was fundamentally different and their tactics should reflect that he advocated the use of a deep order or ordre profond rather than relying on firearms. However <i>Mes Rêveries</i> also challenged French military orthodoxy in arguing for a greater focus on mobile warfare rather than fortifications; this was partly a legacy of the French military engineer Vauban 1633-1707 who had revolutionised this field but adherence to his principles meant French engineers became ultra-conservative. As early as 1701 John Churchill 1st Duke of Marlborough argued winning one battle was more beneficial than taking 12 fortresses; Saxe followed this line but his argument was later given increased weight by French losses in the 1756-1763 Seven Years' War" wikipedia.<br />The Battle of Fontenoy on 11 May 1745 during the War of the Austrian Succession pitted the Pragmatic Allies - principally the Dutch British and Hanoverians - against the French which pitched two armies of about 50000 men against each other was notable for several reasons: both the British and French kings were present on the field of battle; it enabled further French victories; and in so doing it greatly reinforced the position of the French Ancien Régime. The battle was for a time closely fought but was swayed in French favour by the deployment of the Irish Brigades in the French army which in a celebrated counter attack swept a flank of English infantry from the field with great loss of life on both sides. They captured the English colours and 15 cannon and reputedly charged with the war-cry in Irish "Cuimhnigidh ar Luimnech agus feall na Sassonach!" that is "Remember Limerick and Saxon Perfidy". The casualty figures were appalling with at least 7000 killed or wounded on the French side including 500 Irish and between 10000 and 12000 on the allied side. Printed by J. Nourse hardcover

1796284291796. Small quarto. 4pp. Single folded sheet. Contemporary manuscript notations. Light soiling and wear. Early and unrecorded imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius also known as the Ile de France. The text contains the deliberations and acts of the colonial assembly of the island at a time when it was operating virtually independent from France. The acts all concern measures to be taken for the defense of the island at a time when British invasion was feared. 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 "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

A unique work in its field the book shines with the author's animating spirit. The Count of Saxe reviews all the factors all the elements necessary for successful conduct of battles from uniforms to food to strategy to spies in a simple clear and intelligible style. This is followed by the chapter on the propagation of the human species intended to counterbalance the art of destroying populations; the author shares his thoughts on demographic proliferation and the means of increasing it. The term ""rêveries"" refers not to the modern sense of ramblings but to that of realized hopes and secret thoughts. Marshal de Saxe was one of the most illustrious military men of his century; he develops in his work the quasi-utopian vision of a military art proposing new solutions both tactical and practical a new uniform for running more quickly.
