E' considerato con Hume e Gibbon uno dei tre grandi storici inglesi del XVIII° secolo. Figlio di un ministro presbiteriano e risiedette a lungo a Gladsmuir nell'East Lothian (1743-59). Dopo aver preso parte alle rivolte contro i giacobiti che infiammarono la Scozia negli anni quaranta del settecento. Nel 1751 divenne capo del partito moderato in seno all'assemblea generale dellea Chiesa scozzese. Iniziò anche ad interessarsi attivamente alla storiografia pubblicando varie opere che ottennero subito un grande successo. Nel 1777 pubblicò il primo volume della History of America ma i moti che precedettero lo scoppio della Rivoluzione Americana lo indussero a rinunciare temporaneamete a terminare l'opera che fu completata solo posteriormente. La prima edizione italiana, contemporanea alla prima inglese, oltre a descrivere la storia dell'America, sia meridionale, centrale che settentrionale, ne analizza anche lo sviluppo economico, commerciale, gli usi e costumi, la situazione demografica, le cure tradizionali ecc. ecc. Prima rara edizione italiana.

1823WRCAM54967Lima: Imprenta Administrada por J. Antonio Lopez 1823. 4681pp. including errata. Lacks half title. Small quarto. Dbd. Moderate dampstaining. Very good. A scarce Peruvian imprint in which the Earl of Dundonald defends himself against accusations made by his own military commander Gen. José San Martin during the Peruvian war for independence. The first section contains San Martin's allegations against Cochrane followed by the Admiral's refutation of the various charges. Admiral Thomas Cochrane 10th Earl of Dundonald 1775- 1860 fought for South American independence after being dismissed from the British navy. He served as a vice admiral in the Chilean navy and his blockade played an important role in securing Peruvian independence. After helping Chile achieve independence a dispute arose between Cochrane and San Martin over rewards and other spoils of war. It was not the first time nor would it be the last that Cochrane accused those he had served of failing to adequately compensate him. Still he was a brilliant naval officer who was later reinstated into the British navy and served with distinction until his death in 1860. His legendary worldwide naval adventures influenced both C.S. Forester and Patrick O'Brian in their respective Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey series of historical naval fiction.

1900232171900. Peru glass lantern slide archive documenting Indigenous and rural life in the Perené and Cuzco during a period where the political economy shaped was by export agriculture regional extraction and foreign institutional interest. In this period Peru was governed by a coastal elite tied to export markets and to the expansion of state and commercial control into the interior and images of carriers river craft family groups and gathered communities register how Indigenous people were affected by that process through incorporation into frontier economies while also being recast for North American educational audiences as ethnographic subjects.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 6 black and white glass lantern slide photographs each 3.25" x 4" Peru early 1900s. Issued as lecture materials for the Philadelphia Museum. The group includes a family or community portrait posed before a thatched structure with adults and children wearing brimmed hats layered garments shawls and patterned skirts; a closer seated group of women and children gathered around large ceramic vessels; also includes a large outdoor crowd scene showing a densely gathered public space filled with adults and children; a posed family and community portrait before a rustic structure with men women and children wearing layered garments shawls and broad-brimmed hats; a closer domestic scene centered on seated women and children gathered around large ceramic vessels; a river crossing in the Rio Perené region showing an adult and child standing on a balsa or log raft using poles to navigate the current; an "Indian Carrier" posed beside a railroad car linking Indigenous labor and movement to expanding transportation networks; and a closer portrait of an Indigenous man framed by a larger crowd gathered behind him. Several slides retain typed or manuscript labels including references to "Rio Perene" and "Hutchins Indian in Balsa" while institutional labels read "The Philadelphia Museums" and "Negative by E. Tyson Hutchins / Use restricted to school lectures in museum" establishing the archive as part of a formal educational and interpretive program rather than private travel photography alone.<br /> <br /> The archive is particularly effective because it balances portraiture with broader communal documentation. The large crowd scene family grouping and market or gathering views shift the photographs away from isolated ethnographic "types" and toward visible social environments populated by children laborers families and community members. The railroad image and river crossing additionally place Indigenous Peruvians within the transportation and frontier systems increasingly tied to trade extraction regional movement and outside institutional observation in the early twentieth century. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries regions such as the central selva and Perené valley were increasingly bound to colonization schemes plantation agriculture and extractive enterprise while Indigenous communities faced land pressure labor demands and outside scrutiny from state agents missionaries traders and foreign observers. No cracks or chipping; crowd image lacking its original frame with glass and matte border loose; otherwise very good condition. A concise record of how Indigenous and local Peruvians were photographed within overlapping systems of frontier incorporation and museum interpretation. unknown

18044200Lima 1804. About very good. 66pp. Small quarto. Contemporary limp vellum. Small library label at lower left front wrap; institutional bookplate and small ink stamp to front pastedown. Vellum lightly soiled and curled. Minor worming at lower right corner of text block not affecting text. Otherwise lighting soiling and toning internally. St. Peter Nolasco founded the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary i.e. the Order of Mercy or Mercedarians in 1218. It was quickly successful in its goal of ransoming Christian prisoners from the Crusades and other religious conflicts and the order expanded to other charitable work. A third order of Mercedarians was founded for lay male and female supporters in 1260 and the first Mercedarian convent was established in Lima in 1535 the year of the Spanish founding of the city. This work gives the rules constitutions privileges and indulgences of the third order in Lima on the occasion of its re-establishment at the conventual church of St. Michael. A fine woodcut of the arms of the Mercedarian order surrounded by a typographic border graces the verso of the title page. This is the first edition; the work was reprinted in 1870. OCLC locates four copies at Yale Indiana the BNC and the BNE. unknown
18245668Lima 1824. Good plus. 271pp. Modern paper boards printed spine label. Moderate tanning. Light worming to final leaves repaired slightly affecting text. Scarce printing of correspondence relating to the royalist military campaigns in Peru under Viceroy José de la Serna from the beginning of 1821 to early 1824. La Serna was installed as Viceroy in January 1821 following a petition of top royalist officers. He evacuated Lima and moved the colonial capital inland to Cuzco where he set about rebuilding his army and campaigning to recapture the territory lost by his predecessors. In this he was quite successful and by the beginning of 1824 he had recaptured almost all of Peru and penned in Bolivar at Trujillo. The correspondence included here follows this successful portion of his generalship and provides an important first hand accounting of events. Following this period however La Serna suffered his own military rebellion and was sufficiently weakened until he lost the Battle of Ayacucho and thereby all of Peru in December 1824.

In-16 p. (mm. 168x112), 3 parti in 1 volume, cartonato muto coevo, titolo stampato su etichetta al dorso (restaur.), pp. (8),XXIV,232,(6, manca ultima c.b.); 269,(11). La terza parte “in cui si esamina l’Ipotesi di Mr. Bailly intorno l’"Atlantide di Platone", e quella del Sig. Conte di Buffon per rispetto al successivo raffreddamento del Globo”, (1783), è di pp. 213,(3). Manca la carta geografica, più volte ripieg. "Prima edizione completa". Le “Lettere Americane” del Conte Gian Rinaldo Carli in questa nuova impressione portano la dedica a Beniamino Franklin scritta dall’Abate cremonese Isidoro Bianchi (1731-1808) che fu pregato dall’Autore ad assisterne la ristampa. Del Bianchi è pure la lunga Prefazione, apologia di quest’opera contro gli attacchi di Calogero. Cfr. Diz. Biogr. Italiani,XX, p. 165: “.. La giustificazione del potere assoluto è uno dei fili conduttori delle 55 “Lettere Americane”, indirizzate a Girolamo Gravisi, che Gian Rinaldo Carli (1720-1795) cominciò a stampare nel 1780 (a Cosmopoli, ma Firenze) e che ebbero grande successo, essendo l’argomento di molta attualità. Contro l’olandese Pauw (che chiama Paw) e la sua affermazione dell’inettitudine degli Indiani d’America alla civiltà, il Carli, ritornando al tema a lui caro delle antiche civiltà, difende quella peruviana e vuol provare gli stretti rapporti delle civiltà precolombiane con le mediterranee, ammettendo l’esistenza dell’antica Atlantide. Pieno di ammirazione per i leggendari ordinamenti politici peruviani, vi proietta le proprie convinzioni, ed esalta il dispotismo filantropico giungendo addirittura, con l’illustrare la bontà dell’economia regolata e della sovranità teocratica, a vagheggiare il perfetto comunismo. Nonostante l’eccesso di fantasia, è opera da vero poligrafo per il numero di argomenti; ebbe l’elogio di Beniamino Franklin”.
