1660WRCAM35380London: Printed by John Bill and Christopher Barker 1660. Broadside 13 1/2 x 10 3/4 inches. Affixed at corners to a slightly larger sheet. Near fine. Archivally matted protected with mylar sheet. An early diplomatic proclamation by the recently restored British monarch King Charles II and part of his efforts to encourage British colonial and commercial expansion. Though not formally at war hostilities existed between Britain and Spain especially concerning the harassment of commerce at sea and colonies in the Caribbean. Five years earlier the English under Cromwell had seized Jamaica from Spain and in 1656 Spain lent their support to Charles II's restoration to the throne. In this document Charles II proclaims that "all prisoners ships goods merchandize sic or whatsoever else taken upon one another either by any of our subjects or the subjects of our said dear brother since said time of our arrival in England be and shall be upon due proof thereof redelivered and restored." At the same time Charles II was negotiating with the Portuguese against Spanish interests in the New World especially with regard to Jamaica which the British ultimately retained. WING C3287.

1821WRCAM51825Guatemala 1821. 18pp. Small folio. Stitched. Ink stains and dust soiling on final leaf verso. Light foxing and dampstaining. Very good. A Guatemalan imprint of several decrees passed by the Spanish legislative assembly the Còrtes in 1820. The assembly existed for three years from 1820 to 1822 during the so-called Trienio Liberal when a military coup forced Ferdinand VII to institute a more liberal form of government. He eventually defeated those forces with the aid of the French and re-established an absolute monarchy. The decrees included here order pensions to be granted to those families who suffered for their adherence to the Constitution first promulgated in 1812 and offers amnesty to all those who were forced to emigrate from Spain because of their political views among other actions. The longest decree addresses enrollments in the Spanish navy and the provision of men for Spanish warships. The final leaf bears the printed signature of Gavino GaÃÂnza who at this point was the head of the Spanish provincial and military government in Guatemala but who later in 1821 would sign the Act of Independence of Central America and declare the country's independence from Spain.

1600WRCAM34111Madrid 1600. 4pp. Folio. Later plain wrappers. Minute dust soiling. Very good. In a half morocco and cloth box. Four contracts between the sundry kings of Spain and certain conquistadors. "The agreements are with Rodrigo de Bastidas of Santo Domingo for the colonization of the Province and Port of Santa Marta in 1524 with Don Gonzalo Ximinez de Quesada in 1569 for the discovery of the New Kingdom of Granada with Captain Don Diego Fernandez de Cerpa in 1568 for the discovery and colonisation of the province of La Guayana Caura and New Andaluzia and with Panfilo de Narvaez in 1526 for the discovery of Florida" - BIBLIOTHECA AMERICANA. The terms of the agreements generally discuss rights granted by the Crown to the relevant explorer and stipulate what the explorer is required to provide the Crown in return. Gold and other precious metals top the lists. When originally catalogued by Maggs the official signature at the end of the last agreement was attributed to Baltasar Lopez de Castro; but on the original cataloguing present with the text a later hand has suggested Antonio Fernandez de Castro. <br> <br> Good evidence of the terms under which the conquistadors operated in the New World including Florida.
