About This Item

London: Printed for Tho. Cooper, 1740. [2], v-viii, 9-62pp. Without half-title. Recent marbled paper wrappers. Internally clean and crisp. An essay written during the early stages of the War of Jenkins' Ear (1739-1748), in which conflict between England and Spain mostly took place in the Caribbean sea. The author devotes a large portion of the essay to discussing the present military strength of France and Spain, which he deems inferior to the English forces, and argues that exerting English strength will be both profitable and inexpensive compared to the previous Anglo-Spanish war. Contains an appendix providing an interesting and detailed description of present Spanish territories in the Caribbean and Americas- including reference to the Spanish galleons and 'Mines of Gold, the most famous of which is St Maria'. ESTC T711.. First edition. 8vo.

Antiquates Ltd

Antiquates Ltd was established by Tom Lintern-Mole in 2007; we travel far and wide to buy, sell, and advise on rare books and manuscripts.

Concentrating on hand-press printing and early modern manuscripts, we pride ourselves on offering a varied selection of antiquarian works on a diverse range of subjects, leaning towards the interesting, the important, and the unusual.

We have a countryside bookshop in Wareham; we also regularly issue catalogues - do ask if you would like to be added to our mailing list - and frequently exhibit at regional and national book fairs in London, Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford, and York.

We also offer a valuation service (for either insurance or probate purposes), as well as advice on library development.
