Minerva ó El Revisor General. Obra Periódica. 1805

180545242Madrid: En La Imprenta De Vega y Compaña 1805. Quarter calf over blue marbled boards spine title & compartments ruled in gilt tan spine label speckled edges. Very good extremities worn boards & spine rubbed worming through lower edge sticker to front paste down light soiling occasional corrections inked in. 1 title 3-244 pp. 3 pp. index. Sm. 8vo. First year of publication of this periodical October 1st 1805 through December 31st 1805 Nos. 1 -27 I - XXVII with index. begun during the Napoleonic wars and just three weeks before the massive defeat of the Spanish at the Battle of Trafalgar. Includes "Noticia historica de las principales Batallas Navales entre las esquadras Francesa y Espanola contra la Inglesa" 40 pp. of the entire Noviembre 19 issue No. XV. The long article ends with the October 21st battle and the multiple errors of the French and Spanish fleets and notes "There is not found in all the history of the modern navy an example of such a complete victory" No se halla en toda la historia de la marina moderna un exemplo de tan completa victoria." The issue of December 10 also contains further items on the Battle including the poem: -Oda sobre el combate naval del 21 de Octubre de este año" signed Granada-Maron who is most likely Francisco Martínez de la Rosa 1787-1862 future Prime Minister of Spain born in Granada writer of plays and satirical poems. See Loazaro: La España moderna Ano 18 Num 205 Madrid: 1906 p 14. But the thrust of the periodical is literary so that even the discussion of the naval battle leads to a comparison of Spanish vs. English poets' portrayals of their countries' respective heroic battles. The issue of the first year is uncommon. While OCLC notes a number of holdings of the title only about 10 or less libraries hold the 1805 issue. Palau 170218. Hartzenbusch 64.

Extraordinary Autographed Letter Signed in Spanish

1805232113Santa Cruz Tenerife 1805. unbound. 3 pages front and back each measuring 8 x 6 inches no place but on the mainland no date but shortly after November 4 1805. Signed: "Carlos Carrasco" possibly a relative of Naval officer and explorer Juan Carlos Carrasco to His Lordship Roberto de Herrera Santa Cruz Tenerife translated in part: ".I have written Your Worship a number of letters with the news of the day. I do not know whether they have reached you.I hope this is not because of any illness and that God may grant you perfect health for many years.As for my own I am suffering from.a great pain in my right knee which obliges me to walk little and to climb stairs less. Your Worship will already know of the tragic events which befell the combined fleet in the battle it fought with the English fleet in which we have lost ten warships and the English have only lost nine; we have lost more than 7000 men with many wounded and over 110 officers killed and among the wounded are Gravina and Alva Valdes and other high-ranking officers who are being treated and are not out of danger; it is painful to speak of such a tragedy. Magnificent services are being held here in all the churches in honour of the souls of those who perished in the battle and on the fourth of this month a most splendid one was held in the cathedral.On the same day the fourth.our Governor did not hold any court or ceremonial or banquet. There is misery and hardship on all sides and our own is increasing daily because of the ill-will of the attorneys of the French heirs of Arbore and the injustices of the Council and for this reason I again beseech Your Worship to come to my assistance by sending an order to pay me some money such that I will not fail to find it there via Cadiz or Madrid as not to expose ourselves through a sea voyage to the risk of it being captured by the English who are still masters of the seas; I would be as grateful to you as if it were a gift.In the battle which we have had with the English we have lost ten ships and the French another ten. Three of ours are in Gibraltar; the others out of the ten have been sunk or burned or they have been unmasted and lost on the coast owing to the force of the storm. The English have lost no more than nine ships along with the death of General Nelson and another general who was commanding their fleet a very small loss compared with that which the combined fleet has suffered.Gravina is better.His brotherhood sic the Nuncio is expected from Madrid today or tomorrow. Our Governor is constantly being insulted; he received an insult the day before yesterday at the theatre and it was repeated to him afterwards in his house." Carrasco was privy to some of the most sensitive information released by the Spanish Navy including some that was clearly untrue i.e. "Gravina is better." Fine signature housed in a custom made blue linen folder with inner flaps and a gilt-stamped title. Very good condition. For morale reasons the Spanish Government withheld the seriousness of Gravina's injuries and promoted him to the highest military rank of Admiral of the Fleet. He died 5 months later on March 9 1806 at the age of 49. On his death-bed he said "I am a dying man but I die happy. I am going I hope and trust to join Nelson the greatest hero that the world perhaps has produced." unknown
