18203960Mexico City: Impreso en Madrid en la imprenta de Vega y compañia y reimpreso en México en la de D. Alejandro Valdés en dicho año 1820. Second edition. Very good. Small 4to. 26 pp. a little age toning. Recent drab wrappers lettered in manuscript. REPUBLICAN SPAIN COLLAPSES ERODING SPANISH DOMINION OVERSEAS: A WEIRD AND VERY LITTLE-KNOWN DIATRIBE CONCERNING THE 1820 SPANISH ELECTION SCANDAL INVOLVING LATIN-AMERICAN BORN REPRESENTATIVES IN THE NEWLY REFORMED SPANISH PARLIAMENT "CORTES OF CÃDIZ. This issue fueled the debate on the future of the former Spanish colonies in the Americas which openly advocated independence -- as here. <br /> <br /> In 1820 the provisional Cortes of Cádiz election board limited to 30 the number of Latin-American born substitute deputies which led to strong criticism across the Atlantic. Particular outrage was expressed by those born in the Americas and who had been summoned to Spain to elect the aforementioned substitutes on May 28 and 29 1820 an event which occasioned the present pamphlet. While the present text is more than 200 years old its venomous spew reminds us of more recent claims of "election fraud." The first paragraph of this "Manifesto on the Nullity of the Elections" conveys the foaming nonsensical language throughout:<br /> <br /> "The crazy or drunk populace often shout in the excess of their delirium: 'Long live our death Perish our life!' This sublime concept of Dante is the most faithful depiction of the power of seducers over the common imbecile. A strong genius a strong character an ambition without limits are the weapons with which an impostor attracts to his party a large number of weak spirits of little people. With the examples with modern and ancient history he presents the master of our political works. We do not need this to happen to know this truth to ancient or alien events. We continually see iniquitous men who disturb the internal peace of states and who sacrifice the most sacred rights of their compatriots for petty interests. Monster enemies of society you had to have a thousand heads and even then your blood would not compensate for the horrendous evil that your greed caused! What a horrible compromise in which the imprudence of a few American Spaniards constitutes me!"<br /> <br /> And finally the last paragraph which in its rhythmic desparation reminds us of Ginsburg's "Howl":<br /> <br /> "When America screams without her voices dissipating either by distance or the seas asking for help from her own children; when she presents them with her hands in manacles her feet in chains; when she discovers the aged and deep sores that her fanaticism and tyranny caused on her delicate body; when she stretches out her arms to rest on the chest of the beings she produced and to recover from the spirits that are beginning to fail her ah! She is neglected despised insulted. In what debates do we waste time when the Homeland demands our help What laurels do we think will cover us if our countries turn to ashes What peaceful sleep awaits us in abundance if we are continually agitated by the cries of our unfortunate people But the denatured American does not hear me: I turn to the European Spaniards and tell them with the most illustrious tragedy: You who have broken the chains that oppressed you generously defend the freedom of your brothers."<br /> <br /> It is a remarkable fact that the author Manuel Lorenzo de Vidaurre 1773-1841 was the enlightened liberal president of the first Peruvian Supreme Court see: Lissell Quiroz-Pérez "The Books and Private Libraries of Peruvian High Magistrates of the Nineteenth Century" in: Revue historique 658:2 2011 p. 265 et seq.<br /> <br /> Sabin 99488 Madrid and Mexico City editions.

Lorenzo Dow 1777 1834 was an eccentric itinerant American preacher. He was an important figure in the Second Great Awakening. He was also a successful writer.

Dow's enthusiasm sustained him through the incessant labors of more than 30 years during which he preached in almost all parts of the United States. A fierce abolitionist Dow's sermons were often unpopular in the southern United States. His later efforts were directed chiefly against the Jesuits; indeed he was in general a vigorous opponent of Roman Catholicism. In a cloth binding. Externally there is almost no wear to the extremities. Internally the pages have browning that becomes significant to the first and last few pages and scattered spots.

182251717. Editio Quarta Prioribus Correctior. - Lugduni Batavorum Leiden: Apud Johannem à Kerckhem 1717 4° 24 679 25 pp. Halbledereinband; zarter Stempel auf Titel wenige Seiten etwas gebräunt. Lorenzo Bellini 1643-1704 "entdeckte im Jahre 1663 daß die Substanz der Niere »nicht aus einer harten festen fleischigen Substanz bestehe« sondern »nichts anderes als eine Anhäufung unendlich vieler Gefäße besonderer Art« sei. Diese Entdeckung der Nierentubuli führte zu einer neuen Ausscheidungstheorie die Bellini folgendermaßen beschreibt: »Wenn also das Blut aus den Arterien hervortritt trifft es auf zwei Klassen von Gefäßen die der Venen und die der Nieren. Das Serum von Blut getrennt geht in die Nierenkanäle und das Blut vom serösen Humor befreit geht in die Venen. Diese Abtrennung jedoch erfolgt weder durch Attraktion noch durch Verwandschaft noch durch Sympathie sondern wird einzig und allein durch die dies fordernde Konfiguration der Gefäße vollendet«. Diese rein mechanische Auffassung der Nierenfunktion setzte sich außerordentlich schnell durch und blieb im wesentlichen bis in 19. Jhdt. hinein bestehen." "Darüber hinaus zog Bellini aus seinen Versuchen einen sehr wichtigen Schluß daß die eigentliche Menge des Harns da dieser mit mehr oder weniger Wasser verdünnt sein könne nur aus seinem Gewicht erkannt werden könne: »Hieraus geht hervor« schreibt er weiter »daß das Auge nicht sicher urteilen kann welche Lockerheit oder Dichte der Harn habe . deshalb müssen wir zum Wägen unsere Zuflucht nehmen mit dessen Hilfe die Menge eines Stoffes nicht durch den Vergleich mit dem Raum den das ganze Gemisch einzunehmen scheint beurteilt wird sondern in dem man die gesamte Masse des Körpers vergleicht mit der bekannten Masse eines Körpers von bekanntem Gewicht der genauso schwer ist«. In völlig exakter und heute noch vertretbarer Weise erklärt taucht hier erstmals der Begriff der Dichte des Harns auf." "Doch in den Teilen der Abhandlung die sich mit der medizinischen Bedeutung des Harns befassen tauchen die neuen Methoden der Harnuntersuchung nicht mehr auf. Hauptsächlich werden die Harnregeln der Hippokratischen Schriften kommentiert. . Die hier dargestellte konservative Haltung in der praktischen Medizin ist nicht so verwunderlich wenn man bedenkt daß die Ergebnisse der Harnanalysen zum damaligen Zeitpunkt tatsächlich völlig nutzlos für die Klinik bleiben mußten. Der Versuch die wenigen bekannten Harnbestandteile in irgendeine Beziehung zu bestimmten Krankheiten zu setzen hätte unweigerlich zu Spekulationen führen müssen die denen eines Leonhard Thurneysser nur wenig nachgestanden hätte."

Lyon edition of Lorenzo Vallas linguistic work on the Latin language. This same year an edition appeared with Jodus Badius Ascensius and was printed in Paris with Simonem Colinaeum. The next year 1536 saw editions from the printers Giunta in Lyon and Fabricius in Cologne. Immensely popular as a textbook this was Vallas widely reprinted and influential work on Latin linguistics which went through at least 60 editions between 1471 and 1536. Lorenzo or Laurentius Valla from Piacenza was a scholar humanist and philosopher not unfamiliar with controversy. In his tumultuous career he was chosen by Pope Nicholas V to translate the classical texts of Herodotus and Thucydides into Latin. His masterwork is De lingvae latinae elegantia 1444 called a brilliant philological defense of classical Latin in which he contrasted the elegance of the ancient Romans works - especially those of Cicero and Quintilian - with the clumsiness of medieval and Church Latin Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia 6th ed. 2006. Vallas treatise was novel in it subjected the forms of Latin grammar and the rules of Latin style and rhetoric to a critical examination. His work was the basis for the Humanist movement to reform the style of Latin prose to a more classical and Ciceronian direction and on a scientific basis and away from the Christian Latin of the European Middle Ages. This was thought to be a major improvement in style and elegance in Latin usage. Sebastian Gryphius was a German bookseller-printer and humanist. Around 1520 he came to Lyon and settled there on behalf of a Venetian firm of booksellers. Initially Gryphius largely published works on law but was later known for classic works in humanism produced in elegant format. For an often reprinted title this particular edition is not common. <br/><br/> Seb. Gryphium hardcover
