CHOISEUL, Etienne-François duc de (1719-1785)]. An Historical Memorial of the Negotiation of France and England from 26 March 1761 to 20 September 1761 . Translated from the French. London: D. Wilson, T. Becket and P.A. Dehondt, 1761. 4 o (246 x 197 mm). (Title lightly browned.) Modern marbled boards. FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH, containing the diplomatic correspondence with a connecting narrative by Etienne Franois Choiseul relating to the end of the Seven Years War. A seminal document in the History of the Americas as the diplomacy involved the ultimate disposition of Canada, Louisiana, the fisheries off Newfoundland, Cape Breton, Guadalupe, much of the West Indies, etc. The English edition is considerably scarcer than the French though it was printed in a number of editions in 1761 (two in London, a 4to and this one, as well as 3 in Dublin -- no priority is suggested).
