= Cat. NHSM p.744. The separately published supplementary vol. to the work published in 1695 by Allard under the same title. As the author states in his preface, the main reason for this supplement was the fact that many more flags had been brought to his attention after the first vol. was published. But, in order to humour readers interested in ship-building, not only plates of flags were added, but also many interesting plates of ships: war ships, sectional plates, shipbuilding plates, plates of shipbuilding tools and attributes, etc. This copy contains the rare "Byvoegsel", which contains another 80 added flags on 20 handcol. plates. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXXIII.

The first part describes the early voyages and the main actions of the admirals of the East and West India Companies. The second part deals with the actions of the Zeeland admirals, the third and fourth part with those of the States of Holland, i.a. with biographies of De Ruyter and Piet Heyn, the capture of the Silver Fleet, the exploits in Brazil and Stuyvesant's failed negotiations with the colonists of New England.

Severinus, 1704) of the Dutch translation of this important collection of ordonnances on maritime and commercial law.

= Very rare first Dutch translation of Élémens de l'architecture navale; ou, Traité pratique de la construction des vaisseaux (Paris, 1752). Duhamel was an important shipwright during the early years of French naval construction. When he wrote this well-organized manual, he relied "on the organization of basic concepts and stressed respect for rational inquiry into limits of everyday building techniques. He sought to replace routine with best practice." (James Pritchard, "From Shipwright to Naval Constructor", Technology and Culture, 28:1, p.16). Cat. NHSM p.748; cf. Bierens de Haan 1895 (ed. 1759).
