A scarce legislative document of the short Republican time of liberalism in Spain -- the terminal year of the "Trienio Liberal" or Three Liberal Years. The three years referred to ran between 1820 and 1823. During this short interlude a liberal government ruled Spain -- following a military uprising in January 1820 led by the lieutenant-colonel Rafael de Riego against the absolutist Monarchy of Ferdinand VII. King Ferdinand agreed to accept the legitimacy of the liberal Spanish Constitution of 1812. During the Trienio Ferdinand was still officially King but was really more-or-less held in captivity as a prisoner of the Cortes for the next three years and retired to Aranjuez. The elections to the Cortes Generales in March 1822 were won by Rafael del Riego. In December 1822 at the Congress of Verona the Quintuple Alliance countries United Kingdom France Russia Prussia and Austria reached an accord holding that a Spain that could be thought of as republican constituted a threat to the balance of powers in Europe. France was chosen to force a restoration of the absolute monarchy in Spain. On 7 April 1823 the French army said by the French King to consist of "one hundred thousand men under the banner of St. Louis " crossed the borders into Spain. Riego took command of the Third Army and resisted the invaders as well as local absolutist groups. On 15 September he was betrayed and taken prisoner. Riego was taken to Madrid and his name ceases to be mentioned in the index to these papers of the "Cortes. " His pleas for clemency from the King were refused and Riego was found guilty of high treason against altar and throne. The main organizing charge against him was he was one of the members of these Cortes -- the Parliament who voted in favor of taking the power from the King. November 7th 1823 he was hanged at La Cebada Square in Madrid. OCLC 912076335 locating copies only in Biblioteca de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Universidad de Granada. Biblioteca.

The most important Spanish type specimen. The Imprenta Real Madrid was set up in 1780 when the State took over the equipment of the printer Francisco Manuel de Mena whose heirs were unable to discharge their debts towards the State. This was the first type specimen book from the Imprenta Real and it contains many roman and italic types including some cut by Geronimo Gil for the Royal Library. "The book is in two parts. The first comprises an ambitious collection of excellent roman and italic types followed by Greek types fine in the largest and smallest sizes a few pages of Arabic and a little Hebrew. Apart from Gil's fonts and others of that style there are a number of lighter fonts both in roman and italic that while distinctly 'old style' show the taste for lighter letter-forms which was then making headway in Spain. A second collection of type of decidedly more modern cut begins on page 75. The tendency toward less "nourished" lighter letters is clearly seen in these over-finished monotonous character types by no means so interesting as those of Part I. Following these is a large display of capital letters in roman and italic shaded initials Greek capital letters and a repertoire of 'flowers' A few are original but a great many of these 'flowers' were derived from Holland France and England and others from various perfectly recognizable sources; but they are rendered in such a way as to be transmuted into very Spanish Design."Updike.
