1788réf. 24836Boston MA 1788. No binding. Condition: Fine. Massachusetts Centinel illustrator. Newspaper. Massachusetts Centinel February 13 1788 Volume VIII pp. 171-174. Boston: Benjamin Russell. 4 pp. 9 5/8 x 14 7/8 in. This newspaper is replete with Constitution-related content including minutes from the debates of Massachusetts' State Ratifying Convention - everything from discourse on standing armies to Fisher Ames' hearkening back to 1775 with "WE MUST UNITE OR DIE"; a poem to Washington on his birthday; a fictional dialogue The Federal Anti-Federalist Returned to His Neighbours; a rare example of one of Benjamin Russell's famed 'Pillars' illustration series; and a great deal of reporting on the popular reception of the news of ratification expressed in particular by an enormous parade and surrounding celebrations. The Massachusetts Centinel employed the Federal Pillars political imagery to announce the ratification of the Constitution by successive states. In this issue the Centinel announces the pending ratification by New Hampshire. "This day the Convention of the State of New Hampshire meet at Exeter for the purpose of erecting another PILLAR to support the great Federal Superstructure; by ratifying the proposed Constitution." On February 6 1788 Massachusetts ratified the United States Constitution by a vote of 187 to 168 the sixth and largest state to do so. Two days later the people of Boston engaged in a grand procession led by the "Mechanicks" and Tradesmen of Boston "to express their approbation of the conduct of the Gentlemen who represented this town in the late Convention" p3/c2. A sampling of the groups of marchers most of whom carried implements and tools of their professions festooned for the occasion as detailed here p4c1-2: 73 Blacksmiths; 43 Shipwrights; 75 Rope-makers with part of a rope-walk on a sled and martial music; 30 Mast-makers; 36 Sail-makers; 34 Ship-joiners; 30 Block-makers pulley makers; 6 Mathematical Instrument Makers makers of navigation equipment etc.; 53 Coopers; 20 Boat-builders; 6 Pewterers; 40 Bakers 50 Shoe-makers; 56 Taylors; 26 Hatters; 20 Ship-builders; 136 Carpenters; 70 Masons; 30 Wheelwrights; 15 Printers; as well as a dozen other tradegroups such Bookbinders; Goldsmiths and Jewelers Saddlers Tobacconists Tanners Curriers Leather-dressers Cabinetmakers Carvers Painters Tinsmiths Coppersmiths and 250 of the "principal merchants in the town." Toward the middle of this assemblage thirteen horses pulled the ship "FEDERAL CONSTITUTION" manned by a crew of thirteen. A subtext of much of this was an emphasis on domestic manufactures as well as a celebration of Boston's power and potential in maritime trade.At this event "WE THE PEOPLE" of Boston "in GRAND PROCESSION MOVING" passed an ordinance to rename Long Lane as Federal Street in commemoration of the site where the convention had sat. The ordinance concluded "GIVEN under our auspices.the FIRST YEAR of OUR real political federal existence.GOD SPEED THE CONSTITUTION!" p1/c1. That night a long boat called "the Old Confederation" which had been exhibited during the parade was drawn to the Common and condemned "as unfit for any further service." The boat was immediately burned "in presence of an applauding concourse of citizens" p3/c2. On February 12 the twelve delegates who represented Boston in the ratifying convention including John Hancock and Samuel Adams responded to the procession in a letter to "the Committee of Tradesmen of the Town of Boston." Excerpt: "We endeavoured that our conduct in the late Convention should be governed by the magnitude of our subject:-And after the most mature deliberation we severally decided according to the best light of our understandings and the dictates of our consciences." "We are happy to find that our decisions have so fully corresponded with the sentiments and wishes of our constituents."

1561réf. 63610México. March 15 - November 6 1813. Rare Mexican Printings of Twenty-One Decrees from Spain's First Constitutional Government A substantial and significant collection of twenty-one rare Mexican printings of Spanish decrees issued by the short-lived but deeply influential constitutional government established in 1812. Each of these decrees was promulgated in Mexico by the Viceroy of New Spain Félix María Calleja del Rey y de la Gándara primer conde de Calderón in 1813. Drafted and ratified in the absence of any monarch Joseph Bonaparte had been rejected by the Spanish and the ousted Ferdinand VII had yet to return the constitution of 1812 followed a period of great political upheaval and married the liberal ideals of the French Revolution with an abiding fear of its outcome resulting in Spain's first ever constitutional monarchy. While the constitution left some power in the hands of the King his absence at the time of its implementation meant that Spain was effectively ruled by a constituent congress and regency council which notably included for the first time representatives from all of Spain's overseas dominions as well as the provinces on the Iberian Peninsula. The considerable majority of the proclamations in this group deal with the repercussions of this dramatically new form of government including clarifying details of the constitution publicly printing some of its laws and regulations and organizing programs meant to protect its legitimacy and longevity. While changes in home government and the Napoleonic Wars were certainly relevant to colonies in the New World a handful of these decrees also relate more materially to the Western Hemisphere including some related to colonial trade and the ongoing war for independence in Venezuela. All of the present documents were promulgated in Mexico City and are signed in type and most of them rubricked in manuscript by the Viceroy Félix María Calleja. Calleja was a general sent to New Spain in 1810 to put down the early rumblings of Mexican independence which he did with ruthless efficiency. He was Viceroy from 1813 to 1816 when he was replaced for fear that his merciless stamping of the insurrection would only further stoke the fires of anti-Spanish sentiment. The full list of decrees in this group ordered by the date they were promulgated by Calleja and accompanied by brief notes on their contents is as follows: All twenty-one documents share the same caption title: Don Felix Maria Calleja del Rey Bruder Losada Flores Campeño Montero de Espinosa Mariscal de Campo de los Exércitos Nacionales Virey Gobernador y Capitan General de Esta N.E. Presidente de Su Audiencia Superintendente General Subdelegado de la Hacienda Pública Minas Azogues y Ramo del Tabaco Juez Conservador de Éste Presidente de Su Junta y Subdelegado General de Correos en el Mismo Reyno. 1 El Orden de las Cortes Generales y Extraordinarias Comunicada…Que en los Papeles de Oficio Usen Siempre el Gobierno y Todas las Autoridades del Mismo Lenguage Que Usa la Constitucion.first lines of main text.

In celebration of "the joyous event of the promulgation of the constitutional monarchy" this decree renames the public plaza in which the document was promulgated in every city in the empire to the "Plaza de Constitucion" and orders that a stone marker or monument be built to commemorate the event. When Ferdinand VII was reinstated as absolute monarch in 1814 monarchists tore down many of these monuments in celebration. Others remain to the present day including one in St. Augustine Florida which was still in Spanish hands in 1813. 6 Las Córtes Generales y Extraordinarias Con el Justo Fin de Redimir los Montes y Plantíos de Dominio Particular.

August 23. 21½ × 16¾ inches printed in two columns. A monumentally important law decreeing that all publicly owned lands in Spain the outlying islands and all of her colonies in the New World would be converted to private property. The broadside prints the full text of the law and begins: "The Córtes Generales.considering that the reduction of common lands to private ownership is one of the provisions that most imperiously demand the good of the people and the promotion of agriculture and industry and wanting at the same time to provide with this type of land an aid to public needs a reward for worthy defenders of the country and relief for non-proprietary citizens." Despite the lofty language realistically this law formed part of an ongoing program of confiscation of lands in order to defray mounting debts from the internal and external conflicts of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The law divided the confiscated property into two even portions: one would be sold at auction and the proceeds contributed directly to the national debt the other would be divided into lots and apportioned to veterans or sold for a fee to landless citizens. 14 Las Córtes Generales y Extraordinarias…Se Propusieron Abrir la Carrera del Honor y Da la Gloria á los Hijos de las Familias Honradas de la Monarquía.

The Pragmática required all males under the age of twenty-five and all females under the age of twenty-five of any class or race to secure formal consent from their fathers in order to marry and applied to Spain as well as all of its overseas possessions. As of 1803 the father was not required to supply any reason whatsoever for denying a marriage proposal and the law was generally seen as a tool to maintain strict class divisions. These broadside decrees printed in Mexico at an important moment in Spanish constitutional history are rare in the market and institutionally. We locate only a few copies of each in OCLC.
