1715réf. 21225London 1715. A petition to Parliament by the officers of Lieutenant General George Hamilton's Regiment of Foot seeking pay due for services abroad in the War of the Spanish Succession. Lord George Douglas-Hamilton 1666-1737 was a Scottish Williamite officer during the Glorious Revolution who later married William III's mistress Elizabeth Villiers became a confidant of William was created Earl of Orkney in 1696 was appointed Governor of Virginia in 1714 and in 1736 was the first British general promoted to the rank of Field Marshal. In 1701 at the beginning of the War of the Spanish Succession Hamilton led the First Regiment of Foot the Royal Scots to the Netherlands where the regiment fought for the remainder of the war. Despite their long service and the high position of Hamilton the officers suggest in the present petition that having been so long overseas they had been forgotten by the British government and charge that they had not received their pay even after frequent petitions. The document is an early example of lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715. ESTC records four copies two at the British Library one at Oxford and one at the National Library of Scotland. unknown books

1970réf. L242Taiwan: Pirated copy 1970. Hardcover. Pirated Edition Stated First Edition. 8vo. 422pp. Cloth boards. Soon after its original publication pirated editions of the lauded novel were proliferated throughout Taiwan and China due both to censor and lack of legal authorization. After being told of the widespread piracy of his works during a visit to China in 1990 Marquez is purported to have angrily stated 'not even one hundred and fifty years after my death will my books be authorized in China.' Even still the first legal and authorized Chinese edition was published in 2011 after much publisher bidding several years before his death in 2014. This particular copy is completely in English inferring an early issue and the text itself printed from the First U.S. Edition of Harper & Row. The half-title and title pages are identical save for the removal of all publisher mention and curiously the acute accents over the words Garcia and Marquez. The copyright page also with all publisher mention removed bears the First Edition statement in identical typeface and orientation but now off-middle set on the page and above a printing statement in Taiwanese. Of the pertinent information noted in Taiwanese: sold by the Royal Family Book Co. printed by the Guangda Printing Co. and an additional statement of First Edition. The dust jacket crudely reprinted retains the original price of $7.95 but lacks the exclamation mark after the first paragraph inferring use of the second issue. VERY GOOD in Very Good dust jacket protected in a removable mylar cover. The book itself with just a hint of shelf rubbing along the edges the pages up to the first chapter are slightly waved due to the quality of paper stock a small book exchange label on the back endpaper otherwise the binding is strong and tight the text is clean and unmarked and the boards remain bright and distinct. The dust jacket shows slight shelf rubbing along the edges with several very small chips a very short closed tear at the back panel otherwise remains colorful and distinct. As pictured.

1836réf. 231491836. Diario Constitucional de Santiago de Cuba No. 57 November 1836 just months after the restoration of Spain's liberal Constitution of 1812. This newspaper records the transmission of Spanish constitutional government into eastern Cuba in late 1836 through decrees ministerial correspondence and public political dispute printed for circulation in Santiago de Cuba. Issued weeks after the political upheavals that restored constitutional rule in Spain this number shows how the language of the regency government the suppression and reorganization of state bodies and local declarations of loyalty to Isabel II reached colonial readers through the newspaper press. In a Cuban setting where metropolitan policy was filtered through governors ministries and municipal elites an issue such as this preserves the working connection between imperial administration and provincial print. Diario Constitucional de Santiago de Cuba. No. 57. Santiago de Cuba 27 November 1836. 4 pages. Folio newspaper issue. The masthead reads "DIARIO CONSTITUCIONAL / DE SANTIAGO DE CUBA" with the date line "DOMINGO 27 DE NOVIEMBRE DE 1836."

The issue survives as a complete four page folio with dense double column text throughout and no wrappers as issued.

Folded as issued with minor edge chipping small losses at corners and margins some toning and closed tears and pinholes; complete and legible. Overall good condition. The juxtaposition of metropolitan government text Caribbean and Atlantic news and the local controversy printed in "Remitidos" gives the number a documentary range broader than a routine official gazette placing state policy beside the contested language of provincial political life. unknown

Mr Roscoe tells me that it is decided by you Mr Campbell & Mr Colburn that Mr Galiano see Note 2 below should write an Article for the New Monthly - on the subject of Spanish romance - taking as a text my romances - Of course this is highly desirable & I have no doubt Mr Galiano would do justice to the subject which I think will be interesting - But as I have already spoken to Mr Galiano about the other article - I think the communication would come with a better grace from you & Mr Roscoe - as I was unsuccessful in the first negotiation & besides as my 'Castilian' a work of his is to be noticed in the same article that the propposal should come from a third person. Will you write me a word or appoint a meeting - Is the article to be for this or for the next month - because if it is the first case there's no time to be lost."WITH: two copies of the cartoon of Trueba y Cosio that appeared in Maclise's "Gallery of Literary Characters" in "Fraser's Magazine" as "The Author of 'The Exquisites' a farce published in 1832 by Bentley with a copy of the accompanying letterpress in which it is claimed he is English not Spanish and his work e.g. "The Exquisites or a new portraiture of exclusive society" slated.Notes:1. He contributed to the autobiographical collection "Our Exile in England: autobiographical sketches of Spanish Refugees" in the "New Monthly Magazine" vol.44.44-49 May 1835 and "The Spanish Novelists" in the "Foreign Quarterly Review" vol.2:486-511 June 1828; 2.

Riego y Núñez which led to the reestablishment of the constitutional structure in Spain 1820. During the revolution of 1820–23 Alcalá Galiano was one of the prominent leaders of the Exaltados. Between 1822 and 1823 he served as deputy in the Cortes. He opposed the Comuneros—the leftmost wing in the Spanish revolution. After the defeat of the revolution Alcalá Galiano emigrated to England returning after the amnesty of 1834. He joined the moderate party the Moderados. In 1834 he served as minister of the navy and in 1865 as minister of the economy." In fact in collaboration with Sir John Bowring he wrote an article on "Spanish Novels" published in the "Westminster Review" vol. 6.278-303 October 1826 - does this suggest an approximate date for this letter. 8 Leigh St, Burton Crescent, [London]1 Dec.

A rare political leaflet petitioning Parliament for relief of warrant officers who had fought in the recent War of the Spanish Succession. In March 1715 the House of Commons ordered that a list of all the regimental and warrant officers be drawn up but by the time of this document's printing numerous warrant officers had not been entered into the list and rumors had begun to circulate that they would therefore not be receiving expected compensation for their service.

1898réf. 239371898. Spanish American War stereoview archive depicting American commanders naval power coastal defenses combat in Cuba and the extension of U.S. warfare into the Philippines 1898 to 1899. The group includes General Nelson A. Miles imagery of the assault at San Juan American warships and naval personnel heavy coastal artillery and Washington Volunteers firing from stone defenses at Taguig in the Philippines. Miles then commanding general of the U.S. Army directed the American invasion of Puerto Rico in July 1898 while the Taguig photograph belongs to the Philippine American War that followed the United States' acquisition of the Philippines from Spain. The photos extend beyond commemoration of the short war with Spain into the military expansion that followed the Treaty of Paris. Photo archive of 11 stereographic photographs each approximately 7 x 3.5 inches each circa 1898 to 1899. The group includes cards issued as "Spanish American War Stereoscopic Gems" as well as a view of Washington Volunteers firing rifles from a stone wall at Taguig Philippines. The latter is captioned "Fighting from stone wall defenses Washington Volunteers Taguig Philippines" and carries the same caption on the verso in six languages; artillery and troops advancing in a view captioned "Storming of the Hill at San Juan"; a large "12 inch coast defense gun"; the U.S. cruiser Baltimore at sea; the old ship of the line New Hampshire; sailors assembled on the deck of a naval vessel; a torpedo boat or destroyer underway; and additional shipboard and military subjects. The concentration on ships guns commanders and battle imagery corresponds to the broader contemporary stereographic treatment of the conflict. The war with Spain lasted from April to August 1898 but these cards document the larger military transformation surrounding it. Battles around Santiago including the fighting at San Juan Heights became central episodes in the American visual narrative of the Cuban campaign while Miles's subsequent expedition to Puerto Rico opened another theater of U.S. occupation. The Philippine subject records the consequences that continued after Spain's defeat. Some toning and scattered surface wear; photos and captions remain legible. Overall in very good condition. A compact visual record of the military imagery through which American audiences encountered the war with Spain and the country's almost immediate transition into colonial warfare in the Philippines. unknown

1898réf. 239361898. Spanish American War stereoview archive depicting American mobilization naval power embarkation and combat across the United States and the Philippines 1898 to 1899 documenting a war that carried the United States from intervention in Cuba into sustained overseas military rule. The views move from volunteer camps in Virginia and Florida and troops departing San Francisco to the wreck of the USS Maine American warships and fighting in the Philippines. Several Philippine views extend beyond the Spanish American War itself into the Philippine American War which began in 1899 after the United States took sovereignty over the Philippines under the Treaty of Paris and Filipino forces resisted American rule. Contemporary Underwood & Underwood negatives preserved by the Smithsonian confirm that the firm's Philippine series included combat and occupation subjects from 1899 including American troops at Pasig and battle sites around Manila. Smithsonian Institution Photo archive of 17 stereographic photographs approximately 7 x 3.5 inches each United States and Philippines circa 1898 to 1899. The cards show the Army of Volunteers assembled at Camp Alger Virginia; the Third New York Volunteers standing in formation there; Troop B of the Third U.S. Cavalry at Camp Alger preparing for the Cuban invasion; Troop I of the Sixth U.S. Cavalry mounted at Camp Tampa Florida; U.S. Regulars eating their last meal at Fortress Monroe before leaving for Cuba; and a large formation captioned "Reinforcements for Dewey leaving San Francisco Cal. U.S.A." Naval subjects include the battleship Oregon captioned "Old Glory flies proudly on the noble 'Oregon'"; a "General view of the wrecked battleship Maine"; and sailors beside the aft turret and 12 inch guns of the double turret monitor Puritan. The Philippine material includes Washington Volunteers firing from a defensive position cavalry and field formations and soldiers lying prone along a wooded firing line in a view captioned "On the firing line at dead man's bend Imus road P.I." The latter subjects belong to the transition from war against Spain to armed conflict between the United States and the Philippine Republic. Smithsonian holdings document Underwood & Underwood photographing American troops Filipino prisoners ruined positions military encampments and battle sites in the Philippines during 1899. Smithsonian Institution Printed captions appear on the rectos and substantial descriptive texts on several versos including multilingual explanations of Camp Alger and the departure from Fortress Monroe. A verso devoted to the Maine recounts its destruction in Havana harbor on February 15 1898 and lists the ship's dimensions armament complement and cost while another supplies technical specifications for the Puritan. The Spanish American War began in April 1898 amid the Cuban struggle for independence from Spain and mounting American intervention with the February destruction of the Maine becoming one of the defining public events preceding the declaration of war. The conflict lasted only months but its territorial consequences placed Puerto Rico Guam and the Philippines under American control and established the United States as an overseas imperial power. After Spain ceded the islands to the United States fighting between American and Filipino forces began in February 1899. The surviving 1899 negatives include subjects under the Philippine American War among them trenches captured Filipino soldiers American military positions and the aftermath of fighting around Manila and Malolos. Smithsonian Institution The archive therefore records both the mobilization for the short war with Spain and the longer colonial conflict that followed it while the publishers' captions preserve the language through which American viewers were taught to understand troops battlefields conquered territory and overseas rule. Mounts show moderate toning edge and corner wear scattered staining and rubbing some images faded but sharp and legible. Overall in very good condition.
