KLUIT, Adriaan. Iets over den laatsten Engelschen oorlog met de Republiek en over Nederlands koophandel, deszelfs bloei, verval, en middelen van herstel. Amsterdam, Wouter Brave, 1794.Original boards (spine dam.). VI,360 pp. From about 1720 Dutch wealth ceased to grow. Around 1780 the national product of the Kingdom of Great Britain surpassed that of the Dutch. Whereas in the 17th century the commercial success of the Dutch had inspired English jealousy and admiration, in the late 18th century the growth of British power, and the concurrent loss of Amsterdam's preeminence, led to Dutch resentment. When the Dutch Republic began to support the American rebels, this led to the fourth war, and the loss of the alliance made the Dutch Republic fatally vulnerable to the French. Soon it would be subject to regime change itself. [Boeknr.: 2687 ]

(56) 908 pp. First published in 1709; with old owner's name on first fly-leaf P. Reinhoud Bruinisse. - . - Eighteen editions were published of this seafarers prayerbook between 1709-1902. Only few copies exist of each of the editions, all of them are rare, which means that this book was very popular and much used. It was part of the equipment of most ships. On Sundays, the skipper read from this for the foundation and sanctification of Sunday. Van Leeuwarden (1648-1730) was not a clergyman but probably an artisan. Included are prayers for the East India Company, and the whalers and hering fishers. The fine engraved title-page is made after Jan Luyken, also used for the first edition of 1709.
