An attractive copy. $250. First edition. This book reproduces the text of a speech given by military leader Don Rafael Vasco del Campo shortly upon his elevation by the King of Spain to the Presidency of Granada's Supreme Court of Justice. Don Vasco who distinguished himself in the service of the Spanish Crown in Mexico proclaims his humility before the office of his charge never before entrusted to a military man and invokes education as an antidote to envy hate revenge and thoughts of theft lies and deception. He also challenges the need for capital punishment and other legal injustices. During his short-lived presidency over Granada's highest court the region enjoyed peace and a flowering of the arts which ended with Napoleon's invasion of Spain and the subsequent popular uprisings against the Spanish Crown.

Double-folio 79 issues plus one prospectus and two extras approximately 440 pages representing the "Albany Argus Daily Semi-Weekly and Weekly" "The Sober Second Thought for the Presidential Campaign of 1844" "Clay Tribune" "New-York Weekly Tribune" and the "Freeman's Journal." The newspapers represented different sides of the 1844 campaign for the Presidency between James K. Polk and Henry Clay.

The Prospectus issue for the Sober Second Thought prints the "Treaty of Annexation concluded between the United States of America and the Republic of Texas at Washington the 12th day of April 1844" accompanied by Martin Van Buren's response Van Buren was competing with Polk for the Democratic nomination but his opposition to Texas annexation proved costly.
