Originally issued in wrappers which are bound in. Biblioteca de Historia Hispano-Americana. First edition.<br /><br />Founded in 1680 by Portugal as <i>Colonia do Sacramento</i> the colony was later disputed by the Spanish who settled on the opposite bank of the river at Buenos Aires. The colony was conquered by Jose de Garro in 1680 but returned to Portugal the next year. It was conquered again by the Spanish in March 1705 after a siege of five months but given back in the Treaty of Utrecht. Another attack during the Spanish-Portuguese War 1735-1737 failed. It kept changing hands from crown to crown due to treaties such as the Treaty of Madrid in 1750 and the Treaty of San Ildefonso in 1777 until it remained with the Spanish. It then transferred to Portuguese control again being later incorporated into Brazil after 1816 when the entire Banda Oriental Uruguay was seized by the government of the United Kingdom of Portugal Brazil and the Algarves and renamed the Cisplatina province. On 10 January 1809 before the independence of Uruguay it was designated as a "Villa" town and has since been elevated to the status of "Ciudad" city. Since independence Colonia del Sacramento has expanded to the north and east but the original Barrio Historico historic quarter retains its irregular terrain-fitting street plan built by the Portuguese contrasting with the wider orthogonal calles in the newer Spanish area.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />A very good copy.

Instituto de Investigaciones Bibliograficas Biblioteca Nacional de Mexico Series Fuentes number 2. Limited to 2000 copies. First edition.<br /><br />This publication gathered facts and unpublished works of Antonio de Ulloa one of the most relevant scientists and intellectuals of the Spanish Illustration. The present work rescues the mostly ignored brief presence 1776-1778 of this marine scientist in colonial Mexico and his scientific production through his documents: the study titled "Descripción de la Nueva España" and the transcriptions of his private correspondence more than 150 letters with Virrey Antonio Maria Bucarelli archives kept at Real Academia de Historia Madrid and the Archivo General de Indias Sevilla.<br /><br />Antonio de Ulloa 1716-1795 was a Spanish general explorer author astronomer colonial administrator and the first Spanish governor of Louisiana. He was born in Seville the son of an economist. Ulloa entered the navy in 1733. In 1735 he was appointed with fellow Spaniard Jorge Juan a member of the French Geodesic Mission a scientific expedition which the French Academy of Sciences was sending to Ecuador to measure a degree of meridian arc at the equator led by Pierre Bouguer. He remained there from 1736 to 1744 during which time the two Spaniards discovered the element platinum. In 1745 having finished their scientific labors Ulloa and Jorge Juan prepared to return to Spain agreeing to travel on different ships in order to minimize the danger of losing the important fruits of their labors. The ship upon which Ulloa was traveling was captured by the British and he was taken as a prisoner to England. In that country through his scientific attainments he gained the friendship of the men of science and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. In a short time through the influence of the president of this society he was released and was able to return to Spain. He published an account of the people and the countries they have met 1748 which was translated into English as A Voyage to South America. He became prominent as a scientist and was appointed to serve on various important scientific commissions. He is to be credited with the establishment of the first museum of natural history the first metallurgical laboratory in Spain and the observatory of Cadiz. In 1758 he returned to South America as governor of Huancavelica in Peru and the general manager of the quicksilver mines there. He held this position until 1764. He arrived on 5 March 1766 in New Orleans to serve as the first Spanish governor of West Louisiana. The French colonists refused to recognize Spanish rule and de Ulloa was expelled from Louisiana by a Creole uprising during the Louisiana Rebellion of 1768. For the remainder of his life he served as a naval officer. In 1779 he became lieutenant-general of the naval forces. As a result of his scientific work in Peru he published Madrid 1784 <i>Relación histórica del viaje á la América Meridional</i> which contains a full accurate and clear description of the greater part of South America geographically and of its inhabitants and natural history. In collaboration with the Jorge Juan mentioned above he also wrote<i> Noticias secretas de América</i> giving valuable information regarding the early religious orders in Spanish America.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /></p><p>Jacket spine sunned light edge wear scuffed hinges rubbed else very good in like jacket. </p> Universidad de Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) hardcover

1987H0200245 pages. Thick octavo 9" x 6 3/4" bound in publisher's original wrappers. Colleccion "Estudios Michoacanos" number VIII. First published in 1870. Bishop Clemente de Jesús Munguía 1810-1868 one of the most influential yet least-known ecclesiastical intellectuals of the period. A lawyer by profession Clemente Munguía was first professor and then rector of the Morelia diocesan seminary where he undertook a major reform of the school's curriculum and also composed several textbooks on a variety of subjects including grammar literature rhetoric philosophy theology and law. Appointed Bishop of Michoacán in October 1850 Munguía distinguished himself for his staunch opposition to the state's encroachment on the Church as well as for his insistence on the need for religious intolerance in what he imagined as an "exclusively Catholic" nation. His protests against the 1857 Constitution and the liberal legislation enacted by President Ignacio Comonfort were a key factor in the outbreak of the Civil War of the Reform 1858-1860 and the subsequent French intervention 1862-1867 which resulted in the separation of Church and state and the collapse of Mexican conservatism. Far from the stereotype of a backward and parochial intellectual Munguía was a sophisticated scholar who sought to reconcile Catholicism with the larger currents of thought of the Atlantic Republic of letters. Indeed he believed that the liberal revolution should be countered "with its own weapons" a conviction which first led him to frame the defense of ecclesiastical prerogatives in the language of modern natural law and then to claim for the Church the very power of constitutional interpretation. Although Munguía's ideal of a "Catholic republic" became unfeasible after the liberals' final victory in 1867 his efforts at consolidating ecclesiastical independence paved the way for both the Romanization and the social activism that characterized the Mexican Church during the latter half of the nineteenth century.
