About This Item
London: Sold by J. Roberts, 1739. 3-29pp, [1]. Without half-title. Disbound. Title-page separated from text-block. A tract by politician Horatio Walpole (1678-1757) regarding the Convention of El Pardo, a treaty between Great Britain and Spain designed to resolve issues regarding the freedom of the seas and ensuing smuggling operations. Delegates agreed that Britain would receive damages for harm done to vessels and crews during Spanish boardings, and that Spain be compensated in return for the nonpayment of proceeds from the Asiento - the permission given by the government to trade slaves in Spanish colonies. The convention proved exceedingly unpopular with the South Sea Company and British and Spanish merchant captains alike, and by the year's end both nations would violate the treaty, thus instigating the War of Jenkins' Ear. ESTC T34056.. First edition. 8vo.
