Rare and important pamphlet written in the wake of the intervention of the French Revolutionary intervention in the Dutch, Batavian, affairs: a emotional appeal to all inhabitants of the Province of Overijssel for the establishment and meeting of a National Convention in The Hague, written on behalf of the Patriots of Overijssel organized as the 'Provisionele Representanten van het Volk van Overijssel' (Provisional representatives of the people of Overijssel).The appeal, calling for a federal organization of the Batavian Republic, is signed by the Clerk of the Representatives, the well-known Deventer historian and politician Gerhard Dumbar Jr. (1743-1802), a friend of Joan Derk van der Capellen tot de Pol and writer of a work on the new American federal structure of government. Probably he is also the main author of this pamphlet.Edges slightly frayed, wrappers very slightly worn, but overall in good condition.l STCN 203976630 (4 copies); not in Knuttel; cf.

4 volumes. The history of Overijssel, by Gerhard Dumbar Jr. (1743-1802), in the original Dutch. The third volume is divided into three parts, with separate title-pages, but a single sequence of page numbers. Dumbar left it unfinished at his death, breaking off after the first part of volume four. It was published by the "Compagnie der Vaderlandsche Historie" (active from 1779 to 1810). This company included the six publishers in the imprint of the present volumes. As a part of their business venture, they published new editions continuing the Hedendaagsche historie-series to complete the description of the Dutch Republic. The dates on the title-pages of the four volumes are 1781, 1790, 1792 and 1803 respectively, but volumes 1 and 3 were published in two (1781, 1786) and three (1792, 1798, 1801) instalments respectively. Volume 1 was reissued in 1798. A planned further instalment of volume 4 never appeared.Apart from the beautiful frontispiece - an allegorical representation of Overijssel as a woman - the present volumes include several detailed engravings, depicting the most important cities and sights in the Overijssel region, located in the eastern Netherlands.Each volume with the armorial bookplate of F.G.I. Houck, J.U.D.
