Croix Teodoro de
Contemporary manuscript copy of an order of Teodoro de Croix commandant general of the Internal Provinces Arispe Sonora June 23 1780 clarifying article 10 of title 14 of regulations on the presidios regarding the rights of presidial representatives
Monclova 1780. Very good. Folio 305 x 213 mm two untrimmed sheets folded once to produce 8 pp. manuscript on 7 pages final page blank. Watermark: Picador type of Heawood 3471: caballero / bull countermark. Top right corners damp stained overall in excellent state. A RARE CONTEMPORARY MANUSCRIPT COPY OF AN ORDER OF TEODORO DE CROIX regulating the presidios regarding the rights of presidial representatives. The present MS clarifies Article 10 of Title 14. Here it is decreed that the presidial representatives are not permitted to purchase for the troops receive money for goods nor contract debts and in case of their bankruptcy of the funds under their control their property will be confiscated. Our manuscript is a copy certified in Monclova September 25 1780 with the written name of Juan de Uvalde not signed. For a COMPLETE TRANSLATION of the manuscript see below.<br/><br/>Teodoro de Croix 1730 Lille France - 1792 Madrid was Viceroy of New Spain. He was the first comandante general of the Internal Provinces serving as the virtual ruler of the northern frontier from his appointment in 1777 to his selection as viceroy of Peru in 1783 a position he held until 1790. <br/><br/>Early documents relating to Teodoro de Croix are now scarce on the market. THIS MANUSCRIPT was the last one of its kind to appear at auction in 2001: Dorothy Sloan Auction 11 lot 99 purchased by her from the consignor after the sale; purchased by us from Dorothy Sloan Rare Books in 2020. In 1968 a much later 3-page document appeared at Parke Bernet undated but after 12 Jan. 1790. These are the only two Teodoro de Croix related manuscripts to have been offered at auction in FIFTY-THREE YEARS.<br/><br/>Our manuscript is written on a type of Spanish paper that Headwood dates to "1766-1776." The text offers valuable primary documentation on presidial-military matters relating to the Arizona-Sonora border in the colonial era. <br/><br/>The significance of the text is such that two other manuscript copies survive both at the Bexar Archive Briscoe Center UT Austin: MS e_bx_003394 D.S. 1-3v pp. in E. 6/23/1780-11/23/1780; and a 1797 copy made in Chihuahua: MS e_bx_003393 D.S. 1-3v p. in E. 6/23/1780-3/10/1797.<br/><br/>TRANSLATION:<br/><br/>DON TEODORO DE CROIX Cavallero de Croix of the Teutonic Field Marshal Order Field Marshal of the Royal Armies First Lieutenant of the Flemish Company of the Royal Guard Corps Governor and Commandant General of the Interior Provinces of New Spain Superintendent of the Royal Treasury &c. <br/><br/>The repeated appeals and "expedientes" presented and initiated at this commandery general concerning the astonishingly frequent bankruptcies of paymasters of presidial and "volante" companies have exposed the mistaken belief and erroneous interpretation generally accorded the articles of Title 14 of the regulations for presidios. The validity of the votes called for in Article 10 of the same title for the election and appointment of the paymaster imposes on the electors and the company the unlimited and absolute responsibility for whatever results debts and charges he contracts during his term. Consequently all the individuals of the company must satisfy such obligations in proportion to their respective salaries and allotments. Accepting this mistaken interpretation of the regulations they have continued practicing this belief since it was commanded that the regulations be observed. Whatever was contrary to this misinterpretation was considered a punishable infraction opposed to the rights of the people the good faith of contracts and commerce and the honor and reputation of the officers and troops who on this wrong principle have unjustly suffered the burden of paying debts for which they are not under any circumstances obligated and that of often losing the value of their income and preferential credit. And finally this has been seen many times as the cause whereby some companies have been unable for a time to perform their functions so that this notorious harm has been passed on to the provinces in general which thus have been lacking in the tranquility safety and defense which they could have been and should have been afforded for the ends for which the King maintains and pays the troops of the frontier in particular. In order to avoid future risks of such a grave nature which if not remedied would alone cause the desolation of the province I have resolved in conformity with the well-founded and wide-ranging opinion of the auditor of the commandery don Pedro Galindo Navarro on the matter in question that the following shall be observed and understood as having the sovereign approval of the King with the force and rigor of ordinances: <br/><br/>DECLARATIONS: <br/><br/>¶ 1st: Paymasters named by companies with the formalities prescribed in the afore-cited article 10 title 14 of the regulations of presidios do not have the power or authority of the companies to purchase on credit to receive borrowed money or to contract any debt or obligation in the companies' name. In addition to this companies are not obligated to satisfy any such debts or obligations if their paymasters do contract them. Rather creditors must claim them against the paymasters themselves or against such properties as they may possess. <br/><br/>¶ 2nd: In the event of the bankruptcy of paymasters who have not delivered or apportioned to their companies the entirety or any part of the funds or supplies to have been received in the companies' name at the royal pay offices the said companies are legitimately entitled to collect what is lacking from whatever properties belong to the bankrupt paymasters. The companies are to have priority and preference over every other personal creditor which the paymasters may have whether prior or posterior in time. This is to be the status of such debts because of the nature of the credit--being directed towards the service of the King and the common defense and benefit of the provinces--and also because paymasters must not use this capital which has been entrusted to them to pay their particular debts since the interests placed in their care and the goods which would have been acquired therewith are not properly those of either the paymasters or the companies. <br/><br/>¶ 3rd: Therefore immediately upon discovery of the bank- ruptcy of any paymaster by the adjutant inspector or those commissioned temporarily to exercise the functions of this office or by the captain or commander of the company the arrest of the paymaster and the confiscation of all his belongings shall be effected. They shall be appraised by qualified persons and sold at public auction. With the proceeds therefrom the balance resulting in favor of the company shall be covered before all else. The remainder if any shall be deposited in the chest having three locks where the "gratificazion" fund is kept so that when other creditors appear and are heard it may be delivered and paid to them according to the graduated order of priority. <br/><br/>¶ 4th: Upon completion of these first proceedings which shall be judicial and to which all formality sh:all be extended by the officer whom it behooves to practise them procedures shall be taken without the slightest delay to determine the cause from which the bankruptcy emanates. Witnesses who may be able to give an account of it shall be examined and a declaration and confession from the suspect shall immediately be taken. Afterwards his objections and defense shall be heard so that the autos may be justified in the terms and processes prescribed and approved by the royal order of May 15 1779 and circulated among the presidios and companies. Then the penalty appropriate to the which is found to have been committed may be imposed. <br/><br/>¶ And whereas such resolutions as I have made as a consequence of the last inspection reviews and those I have made later to clarify them with the opinion of the assessor and auditor of war directing them now to the adjutant inspectors. may contribute to the prompt and scrupulous observance of the preceding four declarations I order that the latter be published by bando in all the cities villas towns and presidios of the provinces under my command that they may come to the attention of all and that none may plead ignorance. Given at Arispe on the twenty third of June seventeen hundred eighty. <br/><br/>¶ El Cavallero Teodoro de Croix. Antonio Bonilla Santiago 25 September 1780. Juan de Uvalde. unknown books

Bishop Air Marshal William A.; Royal Canadian Air Force VC. CB. DSO. and Bar MC. DFC. Legion of Honor Croix de Guerre. V.
Winged Peace.
New York: The Viking Press 1944. Octavo blue cloth hardcover gilt letters gilt illustration to upper cover xiv vi 175 pp. Very Good with sunning to edges and former-owner bookplate; in a Good dust jacket with edgewear with includes light chipping. From dust jacket: The great story of aviation and the direction in which it is going is the story of our future -- a future which will be written in terms of either winged peace or winged death. It’s a story which few men could tell with the authority and conviction of ‘Billy’ Bishop. Bishop learned aviation the hard way. In the cockpit of a World War I flying crate he became the greatest Allied ace by destroying 72 German aircraft. In the years between the wars he remained actively interested in aviation -- both military and commercial -- and kept a wary eye on the growing air might of Germany which he was sure we would have to fight again. When World War II broke Canada became the heart of Britain’s air-training and air-transport system and ‘Billy’ Bishop has played a vital role in this great program. Now at the climax of his career he has undertaken a new job and rendered what may well be his greatest service to aviation. He has poured into an utterly fascinating book the past the present and -- most of all -- the future of flight. He has told the story of aviation from Kitty Hawk to the B-29 Superfortresses much of it in terms of his personal experiences. He shows us how our world has already been changed geographically socially economically politically; how these changes will be either for great good or for desperate evil. He makes us aware of the new world map with its limitless directions and its textbook-shattering implications. He shows us the new routes over which we will either trade or fight find peace or destruction. Through all of Bishop’s stirring account written with burning urgency runs a zeal to make us understand the realities of world aviation today. The proved possibilities of stratospheric flight rocket and jet-propulsion have already rendered every plane now in the air obsolete. New York to London in three hours is assured. Tomorrow’s air age is here! The Viking Press, 1944. hardcover books

BOISSIER DE LA CROIX DE SAUVAGES Francois 1706 1767
Nosologia methodica sistens morborum classes genera et species juxta Sydenhami mentem et Botanicorum Ordinem
Venice: Nicholas Pezzanae 1764. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to 255 x 190mm. Title printed in red and black. Text in two columns. Contemporary vellum; endpapers browned. Pictorial wood-engraved ex-libris by Leo Wyatt for Lord Norwich on front pastedown. <br/><br/>Sauvages major nosological treatise after Sydenham. François Boissier de Sauvages wrote this comprehensive symptom-based classification called Nosology after the science that deals with the systematic classification of diseases. The author a professor of medicine and botany at Montpellier presents clinical cases classified according to the methods of Thomas Sydenham considering mainly the symptoms and the morphology of the disease and showing much more interest in the diagnosis of disease and for its care. The beginnings of the systematic model in medicine appear early in the writings of Sydenham. A friend of Locke and admirer of Francis Bacon Sydenham called for the setting aside of hypotheses and philosophical systems in favor of a natural description or history of all diseases. He took the significant step of asserting that as there were species of plants so too there were species of disease. This implied that diseases were distinct entities not merely disturbances blending into one another and that these distinct entities could be systematically grouped or classified. This Sauvages magnum opus arranged its objects in classes orders and genera as well as species. Like Sydenham Sauvages distrusted contemporary physiological theories and rejected the idea that a classification of diseases could be based on knowledge of their underlying causes. He insisted that classification be based instead on study of directly observable symptoms. Species definition depended largely on designation of the various circumstances in which symptoms might appear. Species proliferated accordingly finally reaching 2400 divided into 315 genera 44 orders and 10 classes. Sauvages and his contemporary Carl Linnaeus set the pattern for the nosology of the latter 18th century. There is a clustering of nosological treatises in the 1760s and 1770s. Vogel published at Göttingen in 1764; Cullen at Edinburgh in 1772; Macbride at Dublin in 1775; Sagar at Vienna in 1776; and Vitel at Lyons in 1778. All followed Sauvages in departing from Sydenhams original emphasis within the systematic program. Rather than seeking new more accurate descriptions of disease the nosologists of the latter 18th century took existing descriptions and tried to catalogue and group them usually on the basis of symptoms.

Is the relief moderation the price you ask as the best mines are completely uninhabited and desolate Send my fatherly love to my vassals subjects.I'll strive by all means.that they are fruitful.

Faith issued.and the moderate price of quicksilver.which is distributed to the miners a part of the quarto has so far been given for relief to support the work.I command you with consequences that you publish and carefully observe that the above ceiling of a fourth part of the price at which would have been taken in quicksilver.be given to the miners.ending the embargo. Also by Royal Proclamation inserted within it is free of tax." Also signed by Manuel Rodriguez 1697 - 1772 -- military leader on the Coahuila-Texas frontier esteemed explorer and one of the greatest Indian fighters from Texas. After the departure of Jacinto de Barrios y Jaurequi in February of 1768 he became brief interim governor and military commandant of the Province. Rare signature as Commandant and Governor of the Province. According to the Texas State Historical Association "It was not until recently that archivists were aware that Rodriguez was a Governor.a fact scarcely noted by historians. Horizontal fold; two holes; smudges in the left margin. Very good- condition.<br/><br/> De Croix 1699 - 1786 was the Viceroy of New Spain Mexico who served during the period of Great Turbulence. The sole purpose of his five-year administration 1766 - 1771 was absolute obedience to the king whom he always referred to as "Mi amo." In 1767 he expelled the Jesuits from the colony removing them from their Monasteries and Colleges allowing them to leave with scarcely the clothes on their backs. These measures provoked a rebellion in which the Viceroy dealt severely with the rebels proclaiming censorship of literary and scientific publications 1768 and hanging the leaders of the uprising. No sooner had opposition been eliminated de Croix turned his attention toward the war-seeking Apache and Comanche Indian tribes financing and authorizing an expedition led by Captain de Galvez into Nueva Vizcaya whereby the Indians were soundly defeated. In March 1768 following the slow-downs boycotts and disturbances in the mines of Guanajuato and Pachuca over the low wages paid to the miners de Croix stunned the Colony by siding with the miners and forcing the mine owners to agree to an increase in wages. His actions were deemed "one of the most significant social reforms in the New World" at that time.<br/><br/> unknown books
