During the Dutch war of independence, also known as the Eighty Years War (1568-1648), a large number of British mercenaries joined the Dutch forces to fight against Spain. While there, these mercenaries learned many Dutch words and returned to England with a new vocabulary, expanding the English lexicon with such words as smuggle, beleaguer, plunder, knapsack, freight, schooner, etc. and a large number of vulgar words which we won't get into here. Henry Hexham was an English army captain, translator and military author who spent decades living in Holland during the war. Hexham originally published the English-Dutch section in 1647 and the Dutch-English section in 1648. These were reprinted in 1660 and 1658 respectively (offered here). And reprinted again in 1675, 1672, and 1678 respectively. This dictionary is the first book of its kind with some 31,000 entries, including names of all kinds of beasts, hawking and hunting, fishing, herbs, mathematics, weights and measures.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Hexham's 1642 contemporary hand-colored 'Art Military' on training military recruits. The first [second] [third] part of the Principles of the Art Military Practised in the Warres of the United Netherlands vnder the command of his Highness the Prince of Orange. [Part I] Delf in Holeand [Delft]: for the lovers of the noble Art Military, 1642; [Part II] London: Robert Younge, 1638 (a reissue with London title of the Delft edition of Walpote); [Part III] The Hague: Francis vander Spruyt, 1640. 3 parts in one, separately titled, folio (330 x 200 cm). [Part I]: [4], 1-40, 37-40, 45-55 [1], 12 pp., with 3 large folding plates (two extending to four pages), 9 full-page plates, and 40 part-page plates (several on one page, in some cases). All of the plates (excepting those on pp. 37-40) are in contemporary hand-coloring. The two volvelles found in some copies are not present, and there is no evidence that they ever were, but there are two ruled circles with several notes in a contemporary hand. [Part II]: [4], 18, 40 pp., with 19 plates by Hendrik Hondius, of which 15 are folding, all in contemporary hand-coloring. [Part III]: [4], 1-18, [2], 45-48, 25-32, [unnumbered], 33, 37-40, 21-28, 47-50, [4], 75, [two unnumbered], 80-81, [unnumbered], with 18 illustrations, three of which are folding plates, all in contemporary hand-coloring. Contemporary Dutch vellum gilt, with 19th century title label, all edges red; (minor thumbsoiling, three folding plates extensively creased, an old repaired tear to the first plate not affecting imagery, pagination characteristically erratic and lacking the appendix, otherwise good and generally clean, evenly and attractively colored probably by the original Dutch publishers as was common). Armorial bookplate (and shelfmark) of the great bibliophile Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex with his motto: Si Deus pro nobis, quis contra nos. (If God is for us, who can be against us?). The Duke's library was sold in 1843 by Christie and Manson. In 1642, the same year of this publication, the English Civil War broke out under the clashing forces of King Charles I and the 3rd Earl of Essex. At the start of the war both King and Parliamentary forces had to rapidly raise and train troops, as England had no standing army. Much to their advantage, some experienced men had fought in continental wars and brought back knowledge of how the Europeans trained their soldiers. One such man was Henry Hexham who had begun his military career as a page but spent over forty years fighting against the Spanish in the Netherlands. So important were his contributions, that Hexham has been dubbed the most vocal English proponent of the Dutch methods of war. Hexham's Art Military provide us with a great insight into how the Civil Wars were fought and how forces were equipped from ordinary citizens at this time. The handsome production is lavishly illustrated with color tinted plates for troop movements, drill postures, fortifications, gunnery etc., most deriving whimsy in execution, and interestingly the original Dutch commands are still present in the illustrations of pike and musket drill, suggesting that Hexham recycled his engravings. A complex bibliographic arrangement, it appears that almost every extant copy of the Art Military differs in some regard, title and imprint, and there can be no definitive collation. Undoubtedly the large folding plates as found here are rare survivals, and the majority of copies lack the volvelles, which were never present in this copy. ESTC S11968 (partial match); S119732 (an exact match for plates and collation); S119734 (partial match). See also Cockle; and Spaulding and Karpinski. It was the most elaborate work published in England on military matters up to that date. This the second edition, newly corrected, the first was published 1637 (1st part) and 1638 (2nd part).

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Printed at London [i.e. Holland]: [no printer], 1623. Quarto, first and only edition, A-O4; formerly mis-attributed to Thomas Scott, a reply to Verstegan's A Toung-Combat, 1623 [STC 18327.5]. Old sheep boards, rebacked, some paper losses to gutter margins in the first two signatures; ex libris University College London Library, with their de-accession stamp on verso of title. Overall, a very good copy of a scarce book. Framed as a dialogue between two English soldiers, the conversation between "Red Scarf" and "Tawny Scarf" concerns the Eighty Years' War (or Dutch War of Independence). As they explore the origins of the conflict, they mention Drake and Raleigh's voyages of exploration, and England's troubles with Spain, including trade and religious disputes.

Extremely rare first edition of this military work, printed in Holland, one of two variants; this with the cancel title in English. This copy has the plates in fine contemporary hand colouring. Both editions are extremely rare. This variant is recorded in ESTC in three copies only, two at the Huntington Library and one at Harvard. The variant with Dutch title page in recorded a unique copy at the Huntington. No copy of either in UK libraries. The work was reprinted in 1642 in England. "Hexham's long military career began when he was fifteen or sixteen. He was born in the Netherlands to English parents in circa 1585 and first served with Vere at Ostend and remained with him until his departure for England in 1604. His three instruction manuals were a tour de force of English military literature and a veritable catalogue of the Dutch contributions to the transformation of warfare in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. . Hexham was one of the most prolific soldier-authors of the early Stuart period and his contributions to English military literature are quite significant. His ties to Horace Vere and to many of the soldiers in the Vere circle is one more instance of the strong conections between Englands military writers and the countries leading military figures." David R. Lawrence 'The Complete Soldier: Military Books and Military Culture in Early Stuart England. "A number of British writers were influenced by this 'Dutch-drill'. Most notably John Bingham in his work on The Tactiks of Aelian (1616), John Cruso's Military Instructions for the Cavallrie (1632) and The Art of War, or Militarie Discourses (1639) and Henry Hexham's Principles of the Art Militarie Hexham was Quartermaster to Colonel George Goring in the Dutch Wars (he became a royalist general in the civil war) and his work is a recognition of Maurice's achievements. It outlines, again in great detail, the structure of an army and roles of the officers and key non-commissioned officers; provides extremely detailed accounts of musket and pike drills with excellent diagrams; includes details and rates of pay as well as the ransoms to be paid for officers and finally a section on military law and the punishments. The second section concentrates on the various battles fought during the Thirty Years' War, but provides little explanation of how those formations were fought. A final section covers the artillery and engineers. While Hexham does not consider combined operations per se, he includes a pivotal section on the inclusion of cavalry squadrons to support the first line infantry in which he describes placing 'Battallions of horse, interlaced, and placed betwixt the intervals, and distances of the Foote, as the ground necessity may require. For, if an Enemies Horse should be ranged betweene his Battallions of foote, it is needed then, that the other side should observe the same form likewise, and have horse to encounter horse, lest they should breake in upon the foote divisions'. Nicolas Lipscombe, 'Combined Arms Tactics in the English Civil War'. ESTC S1197323; STC 13264.4. Not in Cockle (1642 edn. only).
