A few quires browned; some scattered library stamps (incl. on the title-p. ("annulée")). Vellum a few sm. defects. Extremely rare collected edition of 20 pieces concerning the prelude to the Spanish War of Succession as well as the war between Sweden and Russia and their allies. OCLC mentions just a single copy (Amsterdam) with this exact title, but strangely enough containing only 3 titles, two of which are not present in our collection. The plate depicting the battle of Narva is also present in that copy, the maps are not. Comprises a.o.: "Remarques sur les affaires du temps present. Traduites de l'Anglois." (several letteres), "Lettre d'un gentilhomme de la Province de Kent en Angleterre (...)", "Harangue de Sa Majesté Britannique au Parlement d'Angleterre (...)", "Lettre d'un Noble Venitien, à un Magistrat Hollandois sur les Affaires d'Espagne" and "Memoire de Mr. de Quiros, Ambassadeur Extra-ordinaire de sa Majesté Catholique, presenté à Messieurs les Etats Généraux des Province Unies".
