No. 11 of 13 copies printed on vellum there were also 88 copies printed on paper. Title with vignette numerous woodcut illustrations and large initial capitals. 1 vols. Folio 12-3/4 x 8-7/8 in.; 32.4 x 22.5 cm. One of 13 Copies on Vellum. This work consists of two important ordinances issued by the Spanish monarchy on November 20 1542 and June 4 1543. Under the active influence of Bartolomeo de las Casas "friend of the Indians" the new laws had the special design of ensuring better treatment of the Indians limiting the distribution of their lands and above all protecting them against enslavement by the conquering Spaniards. <br/><br/>"Las Leyes Nuevas" are reprinted here in this fine facsimile from the copy on vellum in the British Museum and are followed by an English translation. Much of the book is taken up by the historical Introduction by Henry Stevens who denounces the Spanish mistreatment of the Indians. Ironically the Spanish crown was later forced to rescind the new laws by colonists who were outraged at having to give up their right to a quota of enslaved Indian laborers.<br/><br/>A magnificent and impressive production by the Chiswick Press one of only 13 printed on vellum.

1808WRCAM51826Madrid 1808. Small sheet folded into a square 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 inches. A few small worm holes one larger at bottom left corner not affecting seal. Top portion of seal text obscured by residual wax. Good. Paper seal intended for use on Spanish government documents and letters by the King Ferdinand VII in 1808. This seal must date from the short period that Ferdinand was king in 1808 from March to May. His predecessor Charles IV had abdicated after a popular uprising and Napoléon forced Ferdinand to stand down after only two months. Ferdinand was kept prisoner in France until 1813 when he was eventually restored to the throne. He then ruled until 1833 during which time Spain lost most of its overseas colonial territories to local revolution. unknown books

He very successfully aided the Spanish army in instilling discipline and organizing light infantry and was made a lieutenant general in the Spanish army. In 1811 Britain ordered him home but when he reached Cadiz Sir Henry Wellesley convinced him to command a camp at which a new army was being organized for action in the south of Spain. Again he was highly successful in his military instruction of new troops and as a result was promoted to full colonel in the British army; he remained in Spain till the end of the war in 1814.<br>Â Â Â Â The present work extracted from the larger one of the same title printed at Madrid by the Imprenta Real in 1808 was clearly printed for the instruction of Doyle's southern army.<br>Â Â Â Â At the rear of the volume are => 30 folding plates setting forth various dispositions and movements of infantry troops; clear careful verbal explanations of these precede them.<br>Â Â Â Â Searches of NUC WorldCat and the CCPBE locate => only three copies worldwide of which only one is in the U.S. West Point.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Contemporary signature of "Velez" on title-page. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Not in Palau.

IV:1 f. 147 1 blank pp. 1 f.; 105 1 31 1 pp. all indices. <br><br>Handsome mid-19th century edition of the first comprehensive compilation of the laws of the Spanish Indies. Antonio Rodríguez de León Pinello compiled it by 1635 but it circulated only in manuscript until Fernando Jiménez de Paniagua brought it up to date and saw the result through the press in 1681. Prior to the publication of this massive work it was common practice for lawyers and courts in the various legal districts of the New World i.e. audiencias to compile in manuscript the laws in force in order that they might be used as precedents. Upon publication of this code the number of precedents did not as might have been expected decrease via "regularization" but instead increased: The courts continued to accept the cases and laws on point in the old local manuscript compilations and also those contained in the Recopilación! In sum this is a major work for all collections of international and Hispanic-specific law.<br>Â Â Â Â The first edition is very uncommon in today's marketplace meaning most scholars and collectors must settle for a later edition such as this fifth which has the happy advantage of being handsomely printed in double-column format. This copy is attractively bound as well. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Palau 137466; Sabin 68390. Victorian acid-stained sheep with gilt spines extra.

Contents bright and clean. Near fine. Administrative regulations for Spanish colonial rule in the Americas and the Philippines. These laws represent the last ditch efforts of the Spanish monarchy to bring reform to the administration of their colonial holdings in the Americas. Six years later in 1809 the first declaration of independence from Spanish rule would be signed in Quito in modern Ecuador which would be the first spark of the movement for independence across Spain's American colonies.
