Beschreibung

48pp. Uncut, stitched as issued. Slight soiling to front and rear, a little creasing, else a fine unsophisticated copy. The second edition of Swift's Remarks on the Barrier Treaty; it is, apart from a re-set title, a verbatim reprint of the first published in the same year. As well as reprinting the text of the first Barrier Treaty (1709), which in the aftermath of the Wars of Spanish Succession saw the allocation of fortresses guaranteeing the strength of Holland in the Spanish Netherlands, in return for Dutch support of the Protestant Hanoverian succession, Swift highlights the certain impact on British trade and the way in which the rights of Britain's German allies were ignored in an effort to appease Holland.
