The Conduct of the French

Thomas Jefferys, 1754

[JEFFERYS, Thomas (c.1719-1771), editor.] The Conduct of the French, with regard to Nova Scotia; from its first Settlement to the present Time. In which are exposed the Falsehood and Absurdity of their Arguments made use of to elude the Force of the Treaty of Utrecht, and support their Unjust Proceedings. London: T. Jefferys, 1754.



First edition, extra-illustrated with map. This is Thomas Jefferys' first published work, a vehement pamphlet from the outset of the French and Indian War over the proper boundaries of Acadia and much on other colonial disputes as well. “Both the quantity and quality prove its coming from the hand of no common catch-penny writer” (Monthly Review, quoted in Sabin). The map depicts in shaded hachure the French encroachment into British-claimed territory in all of North America. Howes J-80; Lande S-1128; Sabin 35957; Streeter sale 1005; TPL 4708.



Octavo (201 x 120mm). With folding engraved map, “A Map of the British and French Settlements in North America,” engraved by Thomas Phinn [by John Lodge.] Modern boards. Provenance: two instances of contemporary marginalia commenting on borders (trimmed).
