43228Birmingham: 1898. First Edition. 16mo ca 14cm x 10cm. Staple-bound printed wrappers; 8pp. Mild external wear and soil; small losses to wrapper edges; Very Good. Signed in type at end of text by W.R. Fairley President and I.L. Clemo Secretary. Possibly the earliest printed vestige of the United Mine Workers in Alabama. The UMWA has a rather complicated history in the deep south; the union suffered a powerful defeat failing to win formal recognition among mine operators in its founding year 1890 and retreated from the region for most of the following decade. With the rising economic tide of 1897 the UMWA was able to re-establish itself; Alabama was established as the UMWA's District 20 in May of 1898 and Birmingham Local 423 was established a few months later. This Constitution dated December 12-13 1898 would thus appear to be the first of its kind in Alabama and one of the first in the deep south. Rare; OCLC gives no locations nor do we locate any example of any Alabama-printed UMWA tracts preceding this one the nearest competitor being the 1899 By-Laws of Birmingham Local 423 sold by us in 2017. unknown books

The Fall of the Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico: the True Story A letter from one J. Montismo amateur historian who writes to the well-known Georgia collector Julius L. Brown concerning new findings relating to the death of the Emperor Maximilian I after the siege of Querétaro. The traditional version is that Maximilian was betrayed to the Republicans by his own Colonel Miguel Lopez then executed by the Republican General Escobedo. Montismo writes via Foster's translation a lengthy rebuttal of that traditional story:<br/><br/>". General Escobedo as well as colonel Lopez himself have been obliged to reveal the secret that they had kept so long and so well; and which related to the capture of the city of Querétaro . Important authentic documents a photographic copy of one of which I herewith send to you with my compliments not present . have been brought to light which reveal that Maximilian himself was the one who proposed arrangements to General Escobedo to betray his companions who were fighting for his cause and sacrificing them to their enemies his commissioner and envoy for that purpose being the aforesaid Miguel Lopez .". unknown books

Underneath the quote taken from Whitman's "Democratic Vistas": " We have frequently printed the word Democracy. Yet I cannot too often repeat that it is a word the real gist of which still sleeps quite unawaken'd notwithstanding the resonance and many angry tempests out of which its syllables have come from pen or tongue. It is a great word whose history I suppose remains unwritten because that history has yet to be enacted. It is in some sort younger brother of another great and often-used word NATURE whose history also waits unwritten. WALT WHITMAN".

187947623Parisiis: Apud Isidorum Liseux 1879. First Thus. 12mo 15cm.; publisher's cream pictorial wrappers printed in red and black; xii89pp. Some light shelf wear and a few small soil spots tiny chips at spine ends else Very Good or better. Scarce extract from Sinistrari's larger work "De Delictis et Poenis" 1654 text entirely in Latin save for the publisher's tongue-in-cheek introduction in French. Liseux gained some notoriety a few years earlier when he published "De Daemonialitate et Incubus et Succubis" claiming to have discovered this heretofore unknown manuscript written in 1680 by the Franciscan priest Ludovico Maria Sinistrari 1622-1701. The work described the qualities of such beasts as vampires succubi and incubi though it has since been proposed that Liseux himself wrote the piece see J. Gordon Melton "The Vampire Book" 2010 p. 380. "De Daemonialitate" was eventually translated into English in 1879 and found its way into the hands of W.B. Yeats who borrowed Ezra Pound's copy and from it was inspired to compose the poem "The Black Centaur" first published in "The Tower" in 1928 Catherine E. Paul and Warwick Gould "W.B. Yeats and the Problem of Belief" "Yeats Annual" no. 21 p. 313. <br/><br/>The present work is indeed authored by Sinistrari and remains here in its unalter ed Latin form presumably to avoid censure Liseux noting in his introduction that there's a reason he decided to publish this work sans illustration. Though the publisher's advertisement on the final leaf of text and rear cover only mention "De Daemonialitate" Liseux's catalog would go on to include the Kama Sutra and Ernest Dowson's "White Stains: Containing Also the Contemporary and Most Exhaustive Love's Cyclopaedia with Five Illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley in His Most Erotic Vein.

Translated from the first German edition 1781 which includes a chapter entitled: "Observations and additions to by Johann Gottlob Theaenus Schneider". Translated with additional notes and reviews by Jean Baptiste Lefebvre Villebrune. First Spanish edition published in 1772 Madrid. Sabin 36805 First French edition.<br /><br />Antonio de Ulloa 12 January 1716 – 3 July 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 Relación histórica del viaje á la América Meridional 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 Noticias secretas de América giving valuable information regarding the early religious orders in Spanish America.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Sever worming to spines exterior hinges cracked point chipped library stamps to title pages else a good copy of a scarce item.

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 <i>El Pasatiempo for the use of Ex.mo Señor Carvajal and Lancaster a history of the world from creation to Fernando VI</i> 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 <i>Handbook compendium of the Indian Board of Trustees</i> which traced the royal patronage to the Book of Genesis an achievement for which the Crown gave him 4000 pesos. He also wrote the <i>Defense of Royal Jurisdiction</i> in 1763 <i>the remarkable newspaper of His Excellency Marquise de las Amarillas</i> 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 /><b>Condition:</b><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.

The rivers are not deep; the pure clear water scarcely reaches the chest. When the Indians want to make an enjoyable excursion with their wives and children they go to these islands. They either swim across the river for they are excellent swimmers or they wade across carrying the little children. In fact the mothers can manage three children at once the smallest on a shoulder clutching its hand and the other two under her arms. With the free hand the women carry a basket full of fruit or other food for the occasion. For fear of meeting enemies the men carry bows and arrows. In order not to wet them they attach the quiver to their hair and hold the bows stretched and ready with and arrow prepared instantly to defend themselves as can be seen in our engraving.
