2 works in 1 volume. Rare first edition of this extensive contemporary account of the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-1667), fought between the Dutch Republic and England for control of the seas, trade routes and overseas possessions. It is considered one of the most complete and reliable contemporary accounts of the war, covering the conflict from the events of 1664 until the Peace of Breda in 1667, including the principal naval battles and the campaigns of Michiel de Ruyter (1607-1676). It contains detailed lists of the ships involved in the major battles, giving their commanders, armament and crews. The present copy is complete with the two folding plates, which are often missing, as well as two additional plates.The work contains important accounts of events in the Dutch colonies in North America and the Caribbean. It describes the English capture of New Amsterdam and New Netherland in 1664 and its renaming as New York, and includes on page 43 one of the earliest printed mentions of the name New York. Other sections deal with De Ruyter's expedition to the West Indies, naval actions and captured ships in the Americas, the Dutch capture of Suriname in 1667, and the famous Raid on the Medway in June 1667, when the Dutch fleet broke through the English defences at Chatham and captured the HMS Royal Charles, flagship of the English fleet.The work has been bound with the first edition of the official Dutch translation of the Treaty of Breda, concluded on 31 July 1667 and bringing the war to an end. It contains the articles of peace between Charles II and the States General, together with the so called "Zee-brieven" (sea letters), and oaths and letters signed by Charles II. Under the settlement, England retained New Netherland, while the Dutch Republic retained Suriname. The two works combined therefore give both a contemporary history of the war and the terms of the peace that concluded it.Other editions of the account appeared in the same year, including an edition published at Utrecht by Gerrit Nieuwenhuysen and a pirated edition printed for Jacob Benjamin in Amsterdam.With the 17th-century ownership entry of "D.G. Moy" in black ink on the second free flyleaf and his initials in black ink on the title page. The work includes two additional plates. The vellum is soiled, affecting the manuscript title on the spine, the front sewing supports have been replaced and the gutter of the front endpaper has been restored. The leaves are lightly browned, the two additional plates with repaired tears in the inner margin.

Rare pamphlet written by an anonymous author, discussing the fascinating Battle of Vågen, the main port area of neutral Bergen in Norway, in August 1665 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-1667), including its background and aftermath. The Second Anglo-Dutch war was a war at sea, caused by conflicts in colonial territories of the Dutch Republic and England. This naval war consisted mainly of protecting their own merchant ships, capturing enemy ships and trying to sink mutual warships. The Battle of Vågen was an important naval battle between a rich treasure fleet of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and an English flotilla of warships. Twice a year, the Dutch VOC sent a treasure fleet from the East Indies to the Dutch Republic with money and goods. On 24 December 1664, one of the richest-laden fleets in Dutch history departed from Batavia for the homeland, with a cargo estimated to be worth millions. This fleet was intended to support the Dutch Republic financially and therefore should not fall into enemy hands. Since the tensions with England were already high in 1664, an experienced officer, the rear admiral Pieter de Bitter (ca. 1620-1666), was appointed to command this fleet.The present pamphlet gives an account of the events before and after the Battle of Vågen, and also in broad lines of the battle itself, including all kinds of correspondence and notes from high-ranking figures. The dating in the title is incorrect, as the story took place from August 1 to August 20, which is why the title has been corrected by hand in the present copy. The present edition is one of two, both printed in 1665, but with a different imprint (the present one with the publisher and place of publication, and the other with only the year), and the alignment of the text. However, they were both likely printed by the same printer. The present edition is very rare. We've not been able to find other copies in sales records, and only a few in institutions. A highly interesting pamphlet on one of the most important and fascinating 17th-century sea battles in Dutch naval history and in the history of the Dutch VOC.The date "13. Juny" has been crossed out on the title page and replaced by "1. Augusti" in manuscript. The work is slightly browned throughout, a small hole in the lower margin of the title-page, and an ink drop in the lower margin of page 65.

In any case, the present edition is rare. We find only two records of it at auction, in 2005 and 2015, the other copies are all held institutionally. A highly interesting pamphlet on one of the most important and fascinating 17th-century sea battles in Dutch naval history and in the history of the Dutch VOC.A few spots, the margins trimmed (with no loss of text except that the words "Zee-Journael" on the title-page are slightly shaved).
