Riots in Amsterdam during the public execution of the two instigators of the so-called 'Pachtersoproer' (Tenants revolt). - Smit, Jan. (Engraver). Kort verhaal van het voorgevallene den 28. Juny 1748 op den Dam te Amsterdam, dienende te gelyk tot ene uitlegging van de onderstaande plaat. Amsterdam, Steven van Esveldt, 1748. Large folio, ca. 52 x 42 cm; image size: ca. 36 x 37 cm, an etching by J. Smit ('del. et fecit'), captioned with a title, the publisher's adress and an extensive explanatory text printed in 2 columns underneath.
Fine and rare print with a large engraving by the artist and engraver Jan Smit (1726-1807), depicting the riot at the Amsterdam Dam during the public execution of the two instigators of the so-called 'Pachtersoproer' (Tenants revolt) on 25 June 1748. The Tenants revolt of 1748 was a rebellion in several Dutch cities. The uprisings were not only directed against the high taxes and prices, but also against the situation that public offices were sold by the state to the highest bidder. It is seen as one of the precursors of the Batavian revolution. - Very good copy.

Alexander Neville was a 16th-century scholar known for his studies in antiquities. His portfolio of works isn't as extensive as other English scholars from this era; however, his work 'Furoribus Norfolcensium Ketto Duce' is considered the best work on Kett's Rebellion of 1549.
Kett's Rebellion took place in Norfolk, when Edward VI's forces suppressed Robert Kett and his rebels who were destroying fences of wealthy property owners. Neville frustrated many Welsh readers who took offense to Neville calling Welsh soldiers 'lazy sheep'.

A rare pairing of two works describing important and notable events from the Napoleonic Wars. Both James MacQueen and Frederic Shoberl contributed narratives on battles involving the French military:
·
"Narrative of the Political and Military Events of 1815", by MacQueen
·
"Narrative of the Most Remarkable Events", by Shoberl
Both of these works are included in this tome which contains impressive, folding battlefield and country maps. Maps from the Napoleonic War era are highly desirable and are considered quite rare, especially to still be included in the original book.
