Bound manuscript volume of treaties and related materials concerning peace between Great Britain and France and Spain, assembled in 1739 when Prime Minister Robert Walpole was attempting to conclude a treaty with Spain. These documents include mention of colonies in America, particularly the founding of Georgia by James Edward Oglethorpe in 1732. The treaties, copies probably made in 1739, include a defensive alliance between Britain, France, and Spain signed in Madrid, 1721; preliminary articles signed in Paris, 1727; the Dutch accession to the Treaty of Seville, including secret articles, 1729; and the Treaty of Vienna, 1731. These are accompanied by copies of British documents, all dated 1739: letters of instructions from the King and from the Duke of Newcastle to British plenipotentiaries at Madrid; Observations relative to the boundaries of Florida and Carolina; project of a Treaty with Spain sent to the plenipotentiaries, May 8 1739; and Observations on trade and navigation of the West Indies.
