[ENGLAND & SPAIN - TREATY OF MADRID]. [Gaspar de BRACAMONTE] and William GODOLPHIN.

A treaty for the composing of differences, restraining of depredations, and establishing of peace in America, between the crowns of Great Britain and Spain. - Concluded at Madrid the 8/18th day of July, in the year of our Lord 1670. Translated out of Latin.[London], in the Savoy, printed by the assigns of John Bill and Christopher Barker [= Thomas Newcombe], printers to the Kings most excellent Majesty, 1670. Small 4to. With a woodcut factotum and decorative bands built up from typographic ornaments (the crowned rose, harp, leak - depicted by a fleur-de-lis - and thistle representing England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland). Sewn.

[1], [1 blank], 11, [1] pp.English translation of the Treaty of Madrid, dated 1670, also called the Godolphin Treaty, between England and Spain. Adopted in July 1670 and ratified on 28 September, it officially ended the so-called Anglo-Spanish War (1654-1660) in the Caribbean. The open warfare between England and Spain, caused by commercial rivalry, had already ended in 1660, after six years of attacking each other’s commercial and colonial interests, but the tension in the Caribbean caused conflict for ten more years. The war officially ended with two peace treaties signed at Madrid: the first dated 1667, and the present second dated 1670. The name Godolphin Treaty derives from William Godolphin (1635-1696), an English diplomat for Charles II and a member of Parliament. The negociations for this treaty between him and the Spanish representative, Gaspar de Bracamonte Guzmán (ca. 1595 - 1676), a Spanish statesman and count of Peñaranda, who also played an important role in the famous Peace of Münster (1648) between France and the Holy Roman Empire, started in the autumn of 1669. We can find those names at the end of the treaty.The present treaty was reprinted alone in 1698, “printed by Charles Bill, and the executrix of Thomas Newcomb deceas’d, printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty” (ESTC R223888).Lacking A1 (the title-page, verso blank) and the final blank leaf, but otherwise complete, so with no loss in the text of the treaty. Paper a little frayed around the edges, first and last page a little dust-soiled, but otherwise in good condition. The rare first edition of an important treaty for American history.l Chalmers, A collection of treaties between Great Britain and other powers II (1790), pp. 34-40 (naming an 1686 imprint?); ESTC R35944; Sabin 96528 (cf. 96527 for a Spanish edition); Wing C3616A; for Newcombe and the King’s printing office: C.
