Description: A Compleat History of the Late War In the Netherlands. Together with an Abstract of the Treaty at UtrechtBy Tho. Brodrick1713 London: Printed by William Pearson, for Thomas Ward, 1713. First edition, 8vo. 218pp. One volume only in handsome paneled calf binding, some age-wear but strong still and most lovely. An early history of the Duke of Marlborough's military career and the War of Spanish Succession. Two highly detailed maps (only), one is detached and laid-in (Map of Flanders) and the other is bound in (An Exact Plan of the Battle of Hochset). Beautiful printing throughout on nice thick clean paper; a substantial old volume if incomplete. Horn 445: "Plainly this rather sumptuous work was issued for aristocratic readers. While it pays tribute to Marlborough, Blenheim, which is called Hochstet, is attributed to God's intervention as much as to the "sedateness" and courage of the two commanders.It is not surprising that neither Marlborough's names, nor any of his family, nor those of Addison, Steele, Garth, nor Godolphin, Sunderland, Halifax and other Whig leaders appear on the list of subscribers. This is among the earliest formal histories of Marlborough's military career." ******We ship swiftly and with safety in mind.Thank you.❧
