. 6 volumes in 3. 12mo. LIV,55-204,[II],312; [II],208,[II],286; [XIV],294,[XVIII],246p. With an engraved plate, 2 folding tables printed on both sides and a seal of the Banque Royale'. Contemp. calf, gilt backs with double labels, marbled sides and endpapers. Fine set. First (only) edition. An account of the financial operations of John Law and his Compagnie des Indes', including a great number of relative memoirs, letters patent, decrees, declarations, etc. Marmont du Hautchamp had been an admirer of John Law's system and his book is not written without partiality but has yet been recognized as the best contemporary history of the system and its most precious source. John Law's operations began with the foundation in 1716 of the Banque Generale', soon afterwards renamed Banque Royale'. This was followed by the scheme of colonization known as Mississippi scheme' in the Compagnie des Indes' which, by absorbing various other chartered companies, acquired the monopoly on the trade to America, Africa and China. Moreover, the company obtained the monopoly of tobacco, the control of the mint, the payment of the national debt, and the farm of the taxes. Within a few years Law's companies thus got almost complete control over France's overseas trade, its currency and public finances. In 1719 the Compagnie des Indes' and the Banque Royale' were united, and the promising outlooks of the new company lead to an unprecedented speculation in its shares. As known the bubble burst in 1720, cash payments were suspended and Law fled from the country, leaving behind ruined many of his former supporters. *Kress 4447. Einaudi 3728. Goldsmiths' 7712.

Hardcover. DOU, Jan Janszoon (1615-1682) - BROECKHUYSEN, Steven Pieterszoon van - BOLSTRA, Melchior (1704-1779) - COSTER, David ca (1686-1752). 't Hooge Heemraedschap van Rhynland. Amsterdam: Isaak Tirion, circa 1746 Folio (21 x 14 inches). Double-page engraved title-page with original hand-colour in full, 12 superb double-page engraved maps by Dou, revised by Melchoir Bolstra, engraved by David Coster, which join to make one magnificent large wall-map, and one double-page engraved plate by Bolstra of sluice-gates near Katwijk, all with fine original hand-colour in full. Contemporary red roan backed marbled paper boards, paper label on the front cover with the short-title and date 1746 in manuscript (worn). Third edition, revised by Bolstra and previously published in 1647 and 1687-1688. This detailed series of maps was published by order of the Dike-reeve of Rijnland to document land reclamation in the area. The first 12 maps constitute the revision by Melchoir Bolstra of Dou's map of Rijnland, published in 1647 and 1687. The last map is Bolstra's "Afbeeldinge van Rhynlands waterstaat," or "Consept sluysen". In this, Dutch, context, "Rijnland" generally refers to the area around the Oude Rijn, the lower reaches of a minor branch of the Rhine river in the Netherlands. This river is referred to as "Rijn" (Rhine) in the Netherlands for historical reasons. This small, heavily-canalised and remote branch of the Rhine was, in fact, the river that the Romans used to call the Rhine and the northern limit of the Roman Empire in this area. The term "Rijnland" is itself ancient. Koeman writes: "Obviously South Holland has also had its big names in waterschapskartografie of the 17th century. Among those names dominates that of Jan Jansz. Dou, the surveyor of Rhineland and his colleague Steven Broeckhuysen. Their large map (.) is rightly regarded as the "non plus ultra" of Dutch water board mapping from the 17th century (.) the large scale [1: 30.000]. admitted the full view of the habitation: not just the outposts but all farms and other buildings along the roads. irreplaceable information about the infrastructure of the densely populated area of ??the Netherlands in the Golden Age" (Koeman, Geschiedenis van de kartografie van Nederland, p.138). The Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland is the oldest water board of the Netherlands, having received its first commission to protect the land from flooding back in 1248 from William II of Holland. For several centuries, the daily work of the Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland was run by one Dike warden and seven hoogheemraden, of which two came from Haarlem and five from Leiden. Their responsibilities were traditionally to oversee the dam at Spaarndam and the dikes along the Zijl and the Does. The Hoogheemraadschap bought a meeting hall in 1578, that was also the permanent residence of the Dike warden. The facade was renovated twenty years later in 1598 to keep up with the new town hall.This Gemeenlandshuis is the first one used by the Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland, but to meet with the Amsterdam Water Board and inspect the dikes along the Haarlemmertrekvaart and the sluices at Halfweg, the Gemeenlandshuis Zwanenburg was built by Pieter Post in 1645-1648.

Hardcover. 1st Edition. 16 double-page engraved maps (each sheet size ca 22 x 26 4/8 inches; ca 17 x 22 inches to the neat line and or plate-mark). A magnificent large uncoloured map of north Holland by Coenraedt Decker (1651-1685) and Abraham Deur (died 1717) after Dou, the title within a broad ruled banner across the top of the map, with the large and elaborate allegorical arms of the waterboard top centre, with three smaller arms either side of the commissioners, the imprint within another elaborate cartouche lower centre, the sea decorated with ships and compass rose (each map sheet with old central vertical fold and one of two small marginal tears with loss). First edition, re-issued many times over the next 50 years. The commissioners of the water corporation for this historical region of West Friesland, including the islands are shown as Aris vander Mieden (Chairman), Floris Wil, Gysbert Ramp, Gerrit Warmenhuysen, Gerard Fannus, and Johan Baert (also secretary). A decorative, detailed and proud map showing the islands, bays, hills, rivers, canals and towns and hamlets of West Friesland. The Dutch Water Boards are amongst the earliest forms of local government in the Netherlands, some of them dating back to the 13th-century when Friesland was divided as the dunes north of the Zuiderzee succumbed to the sea, and management of the fragile relationship between land and sea became increasingly important for the safety and livelihood of the Dutch people. These individual water corporations in turn influenced the development of a decentralized political system in the Netherlands dependent on communal cooperation, and so the rise of the Dutch Republic.
