A plea for the Dutch drapery industry

[PAMPHLET - LEYDEN - INDUSTRY].
Hollands algemeene bloey of ruine, door het al, of niet gebruiken van eige manufactuuren; aangetoont in een vertoog van der zelver eertyds gewenschte staat, tegenwoordig deerlyk verval, en uiterste noodzakelykheid van - en middelen tot herstel ... Gevolgt van een' opwekking aan alle regtgeaarde vaderlanders, om edelmoedig alles toe te brengen, datv tot bevordering van die voorname tak van koophandel dienen kan; en een dieper verval ... voortekomen, met het voorstaan en in gebruik brengen van onze eige fabrieken, boven die der vreemden.




Leyden, Abraham Honkoop, 1754. 4to. Modern blank wrappers. 76 pp.

First edition of this very rare pamphlet, containing the anonymous author's own plea for the Dutch (Leyden) drapery industry on the first 44 pages: "Door een, die zig de grootste eere rekent, zyn vaderland te beminnen, en eenigen dienst aan 't zelve te mogen doen" (a contemporary reader has added the word 'Prins' after 'Door een', suggesting that the author was a Prince.
After the main text follow a number of appendices (some earlier documents on the same subject):
I.  (pp. 45-66): Arent Tollenaer's pamphlet Remonstrantie ofte vertoogh...., published in 1672. A second edition was published in 1777 at the widow and son of A. Honkoop, also in Leyden.
II-VI. (pp. 67-76): several proclamations, decrees and extracts on the subject from 1614, 1663, 1685, 1688 and 1753.
