An anonymous pamphlet addressed to the States General of the Dutch Republic, urging them to merge the East India Company (VOC) and West India Company (WIC), noting in particular that it would strengthen their position in their competition with the English East India Company (the author notes the agreements made between the Dutch and English East India Companies in 1820). It refers to various events leading up to the present situation (giving their dates from 1596 to 1640), including explicit references to Brazil.
