First and only edition of a pamphlet on the strife in Brazil between the Dutch West India Company (WIC) and Portugal, in the form of a dialogue between four Dutchmen and a bartender in an Amsterdam tavern. It is one of a series of anonymous pamphlets published on the subject in that year, "much superior to anything which had as yet been written on the subject" (Asher, p. 197).The men discuss the latest news concerning Brazil, including the Zeeland privateers, the sugar trade, the establishment of the Portuguese Brazil Company (Companhia Geral para o Estado do Brazil), and the causes of the failure to make peace with the Portuguese. They also discuss the poor position of the WIC and suggest it would be better to revoke the Company's monopoly and allow merchants free trade with Brazil.Slightly browned, two small stains on last leaf, not affecting the text, otherwise in very good condition. Binding also very good.l Asher 260; Borba de Moraes, p. 33; Knuttel 6479; Sabin 1352; STCN (8 copies); not in Bosch. Modern half vellum. Pages: [31], [1 blank] pp.…

First edition of a pamphlet criticizing the conduct of the Dutch West India Company (WIC) in Brazil, in the form of conversations between five men on Dam square in Amsterdam. It's a vehement attack on the WIC and the Dutch government concerning their strife with Portugal in Brazil. Since 1645 the Portuguese had violently resisted Dutch rule in Brazil, which depleted the treasury of the WIC. This, exacerbated by internal corruption, nearly bankrupted the WIC. The Dutch government's debate whether to financially support the WIC or not, led to many pamphlets by opponents and supporters of the government's plans. The conversation is held between two Dutchmen, a Portuguese, an Englishman and a director of the WIC. The pamphlet argues that Portugal must protect itself against Dutch privateers and that the Netherlands should not try to retake Brazil and Angola. It also urges peace, and claims the Portuguese are making efforts in the peace negotiations in contrast to the "monster" WIC.Slightly browned, with a few small spots, otherwise very good. Binding in very good condition as well.l Asher 263 and pp. 197-198; Borba de Moraes, p. 33; Knuttel 6477; Sabin 1351. Modern half sheepskin parchment. With woodcut illustration on title-page, repeated as tailpiece. Pages: 20 ll.…
