About This Item
[36] pp.First and only(?) edition of one of the most important and best argued pamphlets on the Dutch in America, written to promote the establishment of the West India Company and to warn of the dangers and disadvantages of making peace with Spain. Usselincx's writings "are models of precision and of reasoning, clear and concise, the style simple and popular, the plan plainly laid down and well followed out. [They] teem with the most varied information, and possess an historical importance of the first order" (Asher, p. 74). Here he argues that peace with Spain would promote trade in the Spanish-controlled Southern Netherlands at the expense of the Northern, would hinder Dutch trade in the East Indies and prevent them from establishing a West Indian Company.With the number "19" in manuscript on title-page, leaves numbered 46 (title-page) to 63 (last leaf), and with a waterstain at the lower outer corner. Otherwise in very good condition.l Alden & Landis 608/171; Asher 32 (= 26-28/14); JCB II, p. 57; James Ford Bell Lib. U-57; Kress 297; Knuttel 1441; Muller, America 1543; Sabin 98200[b]; Simoni U-9; Tiele, Pamfletten 649.
