18503976Havana 1850. Good. 138pp. Folio. Stitched with remnants of leather binding along spine. A few blank leaves scattered throughout. Dampstaining and moisture damage at upper fore-edge of scattered leaves slightly affecting text. Moderate offsetting occasional ink burn. Light edge wear and tanning scattered foxing. An extensive list of slave owners in Cuba in the mid-19th century who were issued cedulas for their human property. Cedulas were integral documents for the identification and transportation of enslaved people in the bureaucracy of colonial Cuba and were usually required by the government. In the present manuscript the race and sex of the slaves being issued documents are usually identified -- Negra Negro mulata mulato Chino China e.g. -- though some are just entered as esclavos and there are several entries noted as dotaciones that is complements usually large of slaves on a plantation. The names of the owners are grouped alphabetically according to their first names generally though not in any strict order and the leaves of the manuscript are sometimes bound out of order. Often there are multiple listings of an owner most likely one for each slave in need of a cedula and in all there are approximately 2500 or more separate listings. The first leaf appears to be a model for the cedulas that were being issued to the listed slaveholders with dashes where the information on the slaves and slave owners is to be filled in. The entire document has the appearance of an index with numbers at the right side of each page indicating perhaps the page numbers in the master ledger where the original entry was made. Overall a fascinating and significant document. unknown
18223190Havana: January 5 1822. Good. Broadside 11.5 x 8 inches. Foxed faint signs of folding a few small wormholes not affecting text. An apparently unrecorded broadside order from the captain general of Cuba Nicolas Mahy directing all able-bodied men under the age of fifty to join up with their local militias in order to keep the peace. The local militias are directed to go out on nightly forays "en nùmero capaz de evitar las incursiones de los salteadores por los caminos y la desercion que pueda acontecer de los negros de los ingenios cafetales y demas haciendas." Additionally all men between the ages of fifty and seventy are told to report to “las casas mas fuertes de los pueblos" to form a garrison that can protect women children and the elderly in case of insurrection. By the formation of these militias and the establishment of "el uso de los pasaportes" it was hoped to identify and arrest "los vagos y mal entretenidos." All mayors within ten days of receipt of this regulation were to report the number of men they had enlisted along with their particulars. In the early 1820s much of Spanish colonial America was gripped by revolution and with these orders the Cuban government likely hoped to avoid similar unrest on the island. Several independence groups had been formed in Cuba as of the promulgation of this decree the largest of which was the Soles y Rayos de Bolívar established in 1821. Signed in print by Mahy; not in OCLC. January 5 unknown

18455307Havana: Imprenta del Gobierno y Capitania General por S.M. 1845. Good. 684pp. Disbound. Some insect damage to gutter of title page ample staining throughout mostly minor foxing. A very rare mid-19th century Cuban imprint translating into Spanish a work by German philosophical historian Wilhelm Gottlieb Tennemann entitled Manual of the History of Philosophy. Tennemann originally published the work in 1812 as a much-abridged history of philosophy after authoring a massive multi-volume work on the subject. According to the translator's note at the beginning of the text the present work was produced in order to provide a text in Spanish for those studying the history of philosophy "at the Royal Academy and in the private schools of the island of Puerto Rico." The translator also notes that the history of philosophy is "one of the subjects.of the general plan of education that must be taught." The work itself is organized as a series of lectures detailing the history of philosophy chronologically from ancient Eastern and Egyptian times through the Greeks Pythagoras Socrates Plato Aristotle and many others concluding with modern thinkers such as Descartes Espinosa Hume Kant Hegel and others. The work ends with an Index and an Errata page.<br /> <br /> "Wilhelm Gottlieb Tennemann 1761–1819 German historian of philosophy was born at Erfurt. Educated at his native town he became lecturer on the history of philosophy at Jena in 1788. Ten years later he became professor at the same university where he remained till 1804. His great work is an eleven-volume history of philosophy which he began at Jena and finished at Marburg where he was professor of philosophy from 1804 till his death. He was one of the numerous German philosophers who accepted the Kantian theory as a revelation. In 1812 he published a shorter history of philosophy which was translated into English in 1852 under the title Manual of the History of Philosophy" - Encyclopedia Britannica.
