‎Première traduction française de la correspondance éditée dans The Compleat ambassador, ouvrage procuré en 1655 par Dudley Digges, à partir des papiers de Francis Walsingham (1536-1590), qui fut ambassadeur d'Élisabeth Ière en France d'abord en 1561, puis d'août 1570 à avril 1573, avec, comme "couverture" officielle la laborieuse négociation du mariage de sa souveraine avec le duc d'Anjou, dernier fils d'Henri II et de Catherine de Médicis. En réalité, il avait pour mission d'établir le plus de contacts possibles avec le parti huguenot et de favoriser ses entreprises. Rappelé en mai 1573 pour devenir Secrétaire d'État, il ne perdit jamais ce goût de l'intrigue et de l'espionnage, qu'il insuffla à la politique extérieure anglaise jusqu'à sa mort : son rôle dans la perte de Marie Stuart, et dans la lutte contre Philippe II, est bien connu par ailleurs. Les pièces et lettres réunies ici concernent essentiellement sa seconde ambassade française.SHF, Hauser, 1746. - - VENTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE UNIQUEMENT‎

‎A highly interesting sammelband with six works all dealing with the Treaty of Seville, formally ending the 1727–1729 Anglo-Spanish War. This treaty was a significant diplomatic agreement between Great Britain, France, and Spain that aimed to resolve ongoing conflicts and tensions among these powers, particularly concerning territorial disputes and trade relations in Europe and the Americas. The treaty was signed on November 9, 1729.""In 1727 Spain, with Habsburg support, began a siege of Gibraltar, held by the British since 1704. It was not pressed with much vigour and an armistice was agreed in 1728. By the treaty of Seville in 1729 Spain restored Britain's commercial concessions while Britain agreed to support Spanish claims in Italy."" (Oxford Reference). The Free Briton Extraordinary ""is a reply to William Pulteney’s anonymous “A Short View of the State of Affairs,” our no. 80700, vol. 19. The latter pamphlet has been confused frequently with another with a similar title, also printed in this controversy, by “Caleb D’Anvers of Gray’s-Inn, Esq.” and which has the half title, “The Craftsman’s Observations on the Peace, &c. and the Answer.” Nicholas Ambhurst, as editor of the political journal, “The Craftsman,” used the pseudonym “Caleb D’Anvers.” This journal published anonymous pieces of Bolingbroke and others.” (Sabin 101167) Sabin: 101167"80700 101147‎
