1956021525No Place: No publisher 1956. Unbound. Good. Various places and dates. Dates range from April 25 1956 to June 27 1956. 14 leaves printed on single sides only. It appears most are copies of originals but a few may be original as well. All these letters stem from a proposal letter written by Ambassador Whiting Willauer to his friend and insurance executive from whose estate these came. Willauer mentions his troubles with some Chinese refugees he sponsored which made him ponder the possibility for some sort of insurance for sponsors of refugees to cover financial losses in case the refugees are not able to fulfill their obligations stipulated in the Refugee Act of 1953. The letters are between other US insurance executives pondering options and feasibility with the eventual conclusion that the proposal was not practical. The act itself was meant to accommodate 200000 refugees affected by communism. The earliest letter is from US Ambassador Whiting Willauer on "The Foreign Service of the United States of America" letterhead and apparently written from Honduras where Willauer was serving at the time. Notably Willauer along with Claire Chennault established the Civilian Air Transport Company in China in 1946 selling it to the CIA in 1950 although not resigning from the company until 1954. At this time he became ambassador to Honduras and worked directly with the CIA in Guatemala in support of their operation to overthrow its government led by Jacobo Arbenz Guzman see Wikipedia for previous information-or misinformation. Willauer's letter does bear a signature but we have not authenticated it in any way. These are from an executive of a very large international insurance firm name of owner and firm withheld for privacy. The owner was a highly placed executive in an insurance company and travelled throughout the world extensively. They were active in politics through donations and fundraising and it appears their family was friendly with the Roosevelts especially Eleanor Roosevelt. The previous owner's work for the insurance company led them to meet with various heads of state worldwide including US government officials. Some of the people associated with this firm were also involved in World War II activities including financing the Flying Tigers in China as well as work for the OSS using knowledge gained from insurance work. While we have not found any direct connection to intelligence work by this owner their ties to those who did are strong. GOOD condition. Letters mounted by metal clip in a manila folder. Some wrinkling to the letters with a few handwritten notes to some of them. No publisher unknown
1782CA0094lii315 pages. Octavo 8" x 5 3/4" bound in full leather with gilt lettering to spine. Translated with notes by Pedro Varela y Ulloa. Palau 196692. First Spanish edition.<br /><br />A text that engaged the well-studied debates about the natural history of the Americas and Spain's colonial history. In 1780 in Venice Juan Nuix published Riflessioni imparziali supra l'umanita degli spagnuoli nell' Indie contro i pretersi filosofi e politici. Nuix a Catalan living in Italy since the expulsion of the Jesuits wrote the book to defend Spanish colonialism and historiography against the attacks of Robertson and Raynal. It sailed by the censors in the Council of the Indies and two separate translations appeared in succession one in 1782 edited by a member of the Royal Council Pedro Varela y Ulloa and another in 1783 by Joseph Nuix Juan's brother. The Spanish edition sponsored by the crown opened with an essay by Varela y Ulloa in which he first offered a searing Critique of traditional forms of colonialism not unlike that put forth by Raynal. After describing military campaigns in foreign lands from Alexander the Great to Genghis Kahn as butcheries Varela y Ulloa went on to claim that the Spanish colonialism was unique. The crimes attributed to Spain in the Indies had been committed by private individuals who did not represent the nation as a whole and who had acted as they did while surrounded by hungry cannibals. Moreover compared with the atrocities committed by other European colonial powers the actions of the Spaniards looked like misdemeanors. Varela y Ulloa's effort to portray Spanish colonialism as unique benign captured the essence of Nuix's thesis well. Nuix's defense of the record of Spanish colonialism opened with passages that sought to bolster his credibility by stressing that he was a Catalan and that Catalans had not really participated in the Spanish colonization of the Indies so that he could not be accused of being partisan. He then articulated a five-pronged defense of Castilian colonial behavior in America seeking to demonstrate the unreliability of the sources used by Robertson and Raynal and of their interpretations. Nuix First set out to prove that charges of Spanish cruelty to Amerindians were exaggerations originally put into circulation by writers such as Las Casas whose reports on the destruction of the Indies were at the root of most foreign criticisms of Spain. According to Nuix Las Casas was of Flemish origin which explained why he had sought to undermine Spain. Las Casas also often contradicted himself Nuix argued no impartial jury could trust such "an inept" witness. Foreign historians who had echoed Las Casas's allegations were not credible either not Robertson whose moderation had prompted him to dismiss Las Casas. Robertson had selected and reinterpreted the testimony of Spanish witnesses when recounting various colonial massacres. Instead of quoting them moreover Robertson had manipulated the testimony of witnesses to depict the Amerindians as passive victims of Spanish cruelty. History was not a matter of interpretation however but of faithfully presenting the testimony of witnesses and in that respect Robertson lacked credibility. In order to prove that Spaniards in America had not behaved like greedy barbarians Nuix argued that the alleged depopulation caused by the Conquest was the product of factors outside human control. The infantile susceptibility of the natives to disease for example was why epidemics had wiped them out. The barrenness of the Americas and the idleness of the originally small number of natives had moved the conquerors to create economies based on mining and large estates. Such economies along with the foreign monopoly on colonial trade not Spanish cruelty and greed Nuix contended were responsible for having slowed both markets and population growth.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Provenance: Book plate of Alberto Parreño formerly president of the Cuban Chamber of Commerce in New York to front paste down.
