1879373732Kenealy London 1879. Newspaper. Good Condition. A rare and incendiary sequence of five consecutive issues of The Englishman published in November 1879 and edited by Edward V.H. Kenealy the disgraced barrister turned editorial crusader. These papers are not passive reportage; they are the printed artillery of a man who refused to let the Tichborne verdict stand. Kenealy having been ejected from the courtroom and Parliament alike took to the press with messianic fervour. The Englishman became his pulpit his battlefield and his confessional. Across these five issues he wages war on the establishment lionizes the Claimant and re-litigates the trial in serialized fury. The masthead may promise news but the content delivers obsession. Highlights Include: Current Notes that read like dispatches from a legal insurgency; Satirical columns Own Column Letter Bag Mirror dripping with coded allegiances; International affairs refracted through the lens of grievance and vindication; A tone that oscillates between prophetic indignation and theatrical absurdity. Why It Matters: These issues are scarce in institutional holdings and virtually unseen on the open market. They offer a vivid glimpse into the final phase of Kenealy's public life when the courtroom had closed its doors but the printing press remained his weapon. For collectors of radical Victorian print culture legal history or editorial eccentricity this is a crusade in five acts. Preserved in a modern card cover prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 22 x 35 cms.

En la Memoria Albear realizó un estudio de los antecedentes y las posibilidades de aprovechamiento de los acueductos anteriores efectuó un cálculo de la dotación de agua para la ciudad valoró las dificultades para lograr la obra de captación en Vento y propuso el trazado del canal hasta el depósito.</p><p>Atendiendo a la extraordinaria complejidad de la obra y a las dificultades de su ejecución en el convulso período de la >Guerra de los diez años Albear elaboró y presentó en 1876 dos nuevos documentos: la "Memoria del Proyecto de depósito de recepción y de distribución de las obras del Canal de Vento" y la "Memoria del Proyecto de la distribución del agua de Vento en La Habana". En la primera valoraba los aspectos relativos a la ubicación altura capacidad y dimensiones del depósito así como otros aspectos tecnológicos; mientras que en la segunda se argumentaban las condiciones requeridas para un buen sistema de distribución dividido en dos partes interior y exterior así como las particularidades y aportes de cada una de ellas.</p>La inauguración del Acueducto de Albear denominado finalmente así tras la muerte de su artífice el 22 de octubre de 1887 no ocurriría hasta seis años más tarde el 23 de enero de 1893 en medio de condiciones políticas y económicas sumamente adversas plagadas de dificultades no sólo topográficas y tecnológicas sino incluso higiénicas en momentos en que las llamadas "fiebres de Vento" diezmaban a sus constructores.
