18842025Matanzas 1884. Still very good. 3 leaves plus 4pp. pamphlet in original plain wrappers string tied. Light wear at edges. A few very small worm holes. Contemporary ink stamps. Light tanning and foxing. The Spanish Cortes approved a gradual manumission law in 1880 for slaves in Cuba that provided for an eight-year period of patronato tutelage for all slaves liberated according to the law which essentially amounted to indentured servitude. The transition to the patronato system was overseen by a provincial network of government agencies called Juntas de Patronato. Most of the workings of the slave system were preserved but patrocinados as former slaves came to be known received a minimal set of legal rights and were to be paid a token wage. <br/><br/>This fascinating set of Cuban manumission documents from the Junta de Patronato of Matanzas records this process and contains a rare cedula de patrocinado an identification booklet stating a slave is now a freedman with a supporting sponsor. The cedula completed in manuscript states that "Moreno Luis Morejon Natural de Africa.Vecino del Potrero Miraflores.Patrocinado de Da Josefa Morejon de Rodriguez" is "Gratis Sin Enmienda" as of September 15 1881. The second leaf of the pamphlet prints the rights of the freedman and the responsibilities of the sponsor such as the provision of food clothing and nominal salary. <br/><br/>The second document present here is a contemporaneous manuscript letter from Josefa Morejon de Rodriguez confirming that she will act as sponsor for the freedman and the final document dated January 28 1884 and signed by Rodriguez and the relevant local magistrates states that the sponsorship has been completed and is now legally concluded. With the ink stamp of the Matanzas Junta Provincial on first page and the contemporary stamps of several other relevant authorities. An outstanding record of the process of gradual manumission in Cuba during the last years of legal slavery on the island with a rare surviving freedman's identification book. unknown books
18562026Remedios 1856. About very good. 4pp. on a large bifolium. Printed form completed in manuscript. Separated at fold repaired with tissue. Light wear at edges. Light tanning and foxing. Rare Cuban population census form listing the number of residents in and around the town of Remedios located on the northern central coast of Cuba in 1856. The present document completed in manuscript lists the population according to various categories such as ethnicity and race age range occupations marital status location of residence and several others. The census includes slaves of African origin newly arrived Chinese indentured servants "colonos Asiaticos" immigrant laborers from Yucatan freedmen and free white residents "Blancos". In all there are just over 2000 people living in and around Remedios at this time comprising just over 1300 free whites over 300 free people of color 460 slaves and 19 Chinese laborers. One of the most interesting sections records the population by place of residence which shows that the great majority people in the area lived on estancias with a good part of the remaining population living on livestock farms and sugar plantations. On the final page are two additional sections which enumerate the types of property farms and other enterprises in the regions and provide statistics on agricultural and industrial production and land usage along with some manuscript notes with the signatures of the census takers or local magistrates. An interesting document of slavery agriculture and population in rural Cuba during the mid-19th century. unknown books
1869WRCAM56566Camagüey Cuba 1869. Pictorial letterpress broadside 18 1/2 x 13 inches. Numbered "54" in manuscript bearing the embossed red seal of the Republica Cubana and signed in ink by Salvador Cisneros y Betancourt Eduardo Agramonte Ignacio Agramonte Loyn áz Francisco Sánchez y Betancourt and Antonio Zambrana. Old horizontal folds minor creasing handful of small edge chips. Small hole in bottom margin just touching one ink signature. Very good condition. A rare and significant pictorial Cuban decree from the provisional rebel government abolishing slavery on the part of the island they controlled issued by the radical faction of the Cuban nationalists fighting against Spanish rule in the first months of the Ten Years' War. <br> <br> This proclamation is illustrated with a dramatic woodcut signed "LFR" depicting an ill-clad but exultant freed slave and a rebel celebrating in front of the Cuban flag. This decree stipulated freedom for all the enslaved people of Cuba in hopes that they would join the revolutionary struggle. The decree also provided for eventual compensation to slaveholders and ordered that freed individuals must serve the revolution either through military service or by continuing with their previous work. Among the important leaders who signed the present document were Salvador Cisneros y Betancourt as president just below the printed text and Ignacio Agramonte y Loynáz as secretary to the left of the engraving. <br> <br> The practical effect of this decree was modest as the rebels only controlled limited territory before their ultimate defeat and their territory was generally under the control of more conservative military commanders but such a proclamation joined a growing chorus of abolitionist sentiment in Cuba which finally realized the end of slavery in 1886. A powerful statement of anti-slavery policy in mid-19th century Cuba with a striking illustration of a jubilant slave celebrating his short-lived freedom.

18680Paris, Hachette, 1892. xvi, 352 pp. 8vo. Sewn, original printed covers, uncut. Du Peloux 76. Original edition. Etienne-François de Choiseul (1719-1785), French statesman. He gained the protection of Madame de Pompadour and was given the appointment of ambassador to Rome in 1753, where he was entrusted with the negociations concerning the disturbances called forth by the bull Unigenitus. He acquitted himself skilfully in his task and in 1757 he was transferred to Vienna, where he was instructed to cement the new alliance between France and Austria. His succes in this mission opened the way to even higher offices and in 1758 he became minister of foreign affairs and directed French foreign policy during the Seven Years' War. He continued to control the policy of France untill 1770, holding most of the other important offices of state in that period. Coming to power in the midst of the demoralization consequent upon the defeats of Rossbach and Crefeld, by boldness and energy he reformed and strengthened both army and navy, and although too late to prevent the loss of Canada and India, he developed French colonies in the Antilles and San Domingo, and added Corsica and Lorraine to the crown of France. His management of home affairs in general satisfied the philosophes, he allowed the Encyclopédie to be published, and brought about the banishment of the Jesuits and temporary abolition of the order by Pope Clement IV.
