2004A0801364 pages with maps and bibliography. Royal octavo 9" x 6 1/4" bound in original wrappers. First edition limited to 1000 copies.<br /><br />After hearing about the fall of the Aztec Empire cazonci Tangáxuan II sent emissaries to the Spanish victors. A few Spaniards went with them to Tzintzuntzan where they were presented to the ruler and gifts were exchanged. They returned with samples of gold and Cortés' interest in the Tarascan state was awakened. In 1522 a Spanish force under the leadership of Cristobal de Olid was sent into Tarascan territory and arrived at Tzintzuntzan within days. The Tarascan army numbered many thousands perhaps as many as 100000 but at the crucial moment they chose not to fight. Tangáxuan submitted to the Spanish administration but for his cooperation was allowed a large degree of autonomy. This resulted in a strange arrangement where both Cortés and Tangáxuan considered themselves rulers of Michoacán for the following years: the population of the area paid tribute to them both. When the Spanish found out that Tangáxuan was still de facto ruler of his empire but only supplied the Spanish with a small part of the resources extracted from the population they sent the ruthless conquistador Nuño de Guzmán who allied himself with a Tarascan noble Don Pedro Panza Cuinierángari and the cazonci was executed. A period of violence and turbulence began. During the next decades Tarascan puppet rulers were installed by the Spanish government but when Nuño de Guzman had been disgraced and recalled to Spain Bishop Vasco de Quiroga was sent to the area to clean up. He rapidly gained the respect and friendship of the natives who ceased hostilities towards the Spanish hegemony.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br /> Light edge wear else a near fine copy.

Palau 266572. Sabin 70785 First edition.<br /><br />Full of original documents respecting the establishment of the Church in the Indies and the protection of the Indians together with all the bulls referred to from that of Alexander VI to the time of publication. With the additional 24 preliminary leaves not in all printings.<br /><br />The ancestors of Rivadeneira on both sides had served the Crown for centuries in the Reconquista in high positions of Church and State and in the conquests of Mexico and the Darién. Among his relatives is the Marquis de Moncada lieutenant colonel of the Puebla Regiment. Rivadeneira received a bachelor's degree in Philosophy and Law from the University of Mexico. He obtained a scholarship at the Colegio Mayor de Todos Santos on November 11 1731 served in various positions competed for the Chair of Institutes and remained in residence until 1746. The Audiencia de México approved him to practice as a lawyer in 1733. While still in Todos Santos Rivadeneira began serving in various positions. He was an advisor to the mayors of the city and town of Carrión in Valle Atrisco. The interim viceroy-archbishop Juan de Bizarrón appointed him a lawyer for the poor of the Courtroom of the Audiencia in 1739 with similar capacity in the Tribunal del Santo Oficio the city of Puebla and the Agustino Convent of Mexico. In 1744 Rivadeneira became fiscal agent of the room of the Crime. He served as an advisor to the viceroy Duke of the Conquest and was commissioned to settle a dispute over land by his successor the Count of Fuenclara. In 1746 Rivadeneira decided to go to Spain for family businesses and to secure a position. For a payment of 13000 pesos he obtained the appointment as supernumerary judge of the Audiencia de Guadalajara by decree of January 30 and title of February 20 1748. Without occupying this position he obtained the criminal prosecution of the Audiencia de Mexico on December 22 of 1753. He obtained a license to sail to New Spain with the servants José Ostos of Écija; Diego Ibiricu from Cádiz; Antonio de la Cruz from Zacatecas and Manuel Tagle a "free black". Rivadeneira returned to New Spain in 1755 in the same vessel in which the new viceroy Marquis de las Amarillas went and assumed his post on October 30 1755. As a prosecutor he opposed the activities of the Tribunal de Acordada. Assigned to the civil prosecutor's office to replace Luis de Mosquera and Aranda by consultation of April 28 and title of June 21 1760 the following year by consultation of May 14 and title of August 15 was appointed to replace the deceased Francisco López Adán as judge of the Audiencia. He served until his death. While he was an oidor he was denounced for possessing forbidden books. While in Spain in 1752 Rivadeneira published <em>El Pasatiempo for the use of Ex.mo Señor Carvajal and Lancaster a history of the world from creation to Fernando VI</em> in three volumes. This long didactic and religious poem was an effort to obtain a position and Beristain perhaps not knowing of the payment of 13000 pesos by Rivadeneira considered his first appointment of audience due to the sponsorship of José de Carvajal. As a prosecutor in 1755 Rivadeneira wrote the <em>Handbook compendium of the Indian Board of Trustees</em> which traced the royal patronage to the Book of Genesis an achievement for which the Crown gave him 4000 pesos. He also wrote the <em>Defense of Royal Jurisdiction</em> in 1763 <em>the remarkable newspaper of His Excellency Marquise de las Amarillas</em> and the draft of the protest sent to Spain by the City Council of Mexico City in 1771 on a claim of appointments for Americans.<br /><br /><strong>Condition:</strong><br /><br />Missing some of spine label small crack along the heal font hinge spine ends chipped light rubbing to extremities with the corners rubbed through internally very nice over all a very good copy.</p> Antonio Marín hardcover

Sabin 72202 First edition.<br /><br />Francisco Xavier Mina Spanish revolutionist and filibuster was born at Idocín Navarre in northern Spain on December 3 1789. As a student at the University of Zaragoza in 1808 when his countrymen rebelled against French control he joined the Spanish liberals and quickly became a leading guerrilla. When Ferdinand VII returned to the Spanish throne and renounced the liberal constitution of 1812 Mina opposed him and was eventually forced to flee. In October 1814 he arrived in England where he became acquainted with General Winfield Scott of the United States and Father José Servando Teresa de Mier Noriega y Guerra an ardent Mexican liberal who encouraged Mina to strike at Ferdinand VII through an invasion of Mexico. Scott also is thought to have encouraged Mina and to have assured him of the support of the United States for an expedition to free Mexico from Spain. As a result of this encouragement Mina made preparations to form an expedition. On May 15 1816 he left Liverpool in the ship Caledonia expecting to attack Mexico. On June 20 1816 the Caledonia reached Norfolk Virginia. Mina left it there to proceed to Washington while the ship moved on to Baltimore. At Washington he presumably conferred with high officials but this is not certain. He proceeded then to Baltimore where merchants of that city were willing to gamble on the expedition by furnishing the ship Calypso and arms and munitions for the enterprise. In July Mina visited Philadelphia and in August he went to New York always enlisting aid for his cause. New York merchants gave him two vessels and supplies. By the end of August 1816 he was ready to sail but complications arose with the Spanish minister in Washington who was bringing pressure to bear on the United States to prevent the expedition. Two vessels the Caledonia and the Dolphin however were dispatched to Port-au-Prince on September 1 1816. Father Mier who was with Mina on the expedition was sent ahead on September 19 1816 to contact revolutionary forces in Mexico. Mina in the Calypso left Baltimore on September 26 bound for Port-au-Prince where he arrived on October 13 1816. After difficulties and delays including disease and desertion he was able to set sail from Port-au-Prince on October 27 with four vessels headed for Galveston to join Louis Michel Aury who was also planning an invasion of Mexico. Mina reached Galveston on November 22 with about 140 officers and men. After some bickering with Aury Mina was permitted to land and began to organize his forces. Mier meanwhile had been forced by bad weather to land in New Orleans and in early December left for Galveston with the information that aid and assistance could be raised in New Orleans probably with the proviso that Mina proceed to Pensacola rather than Mexico. Mina proceeded to New Orleans in February 1817 and conferred with his New Orleans associates but decided against an attack on Pensacola deploring the commercial character of such an expedition. He bought two ships the Cleopatra and the Neptune at New Orleans. On March 16 he was again at Galveston where he received the force of Colonel Henry Perry 100 men. An arrangement was made whereby Aury was to be naval commander of the expedition while Mina was to have command of the military. The invasion point of Mexico was to be Soto la Marina Tamaulipas. The expedition left Galveston Island on April 7 with a force of eight ships and 235 men. After stopping at the mouth of the Rio Grande for water the force reached the mouth of the Santander River on April 11. The troops were disembarked on April 15. Mina captured Soto la Marina without difficulty and proceeded inland. After many small victories over the Spanish all the while trying to restore unity among insurgent leaders he was defeated and captured at Venadito on October 27. He was taken to Mexico City tried and executed at Fort San Gregorio with twenty-five companions on November 11 1817 at the age of twenty-eight years.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />New cloth over boards with original label attached to spine spine reinforced with later fabric back-strip some toning to the pages throughout hinges tender else a good copy.
