rif. 18196No place, 1769. With 1 folding table. 145 (misnumbered 147, pagination jumps from 123 to 126, text complete; 2, (Avis au relieur, blank) pp. 8vo. Contemporary blind paper covers with paper label on spine, very nice copy, entirely unpressed, with very wide margins and uncut. Einaudi 2247; Higgs 4642; Mattioli 334; Leblanc, De Thomas More à Chaptal, contribution bibliographique à l'histoire économique, 290; not in Kress; not in Goldsmiths; not in INED. First edition.There are a few copies which contain a long note on the pages 122-124, which note refers to the session of the Parlement de Paris. In this note, not printed in this copy, which is why the pagination jumps, the author defends the Abbé Baudeau and his work Avis aux honnêtes gens qui veulent bien faire, a work which had become the subject of a request for its prohibition. Copies with this note have consecutive pagination: why this note was apparently withdrawn and no longer printed in later produced copies is unknown, but it does explain the jump in pagination. During the discussion on free trade of grains several 'Parlements' gave their opinions. 'Celui de Dauphiné donnait solennellement, le 26 avril 1769, un Avis qui était une exposition magistrale de la doctrine physiocratique, d'une orthodoxie impeccable. "Ouvrage excellent à tous égards, s'écrie Dupont en l'annonçant aux 'lecteurs patriotes' aux 'bons citoyens'; ouvrage que nos derniers neveux baigneront encore des larmes de leur reconnaissance, comme nous l'avons fait nous-même en le lisant."....... l'Avis fut rendu public. L'impression produite pouvait être si forte que le Parlement de Paris s'arrangea pour faire disparaître la brochure: "Cet ouvrage est devenu bientôt excessivement rare, écrit Bachaumont, parce que le système qu'on propose à Sa Majesté est totalement opposé à ce que les Parlements de Paris et de Rouen ont écrit sur cette matière, et que cette première Compagnie n'a pas trouvé bon qu'on répandit sous ses yeux un écrit si contraire à sa façon de penser.'' Le manifeste du Parlement de Dauphiné n'en émut pas moins l'opinion , et son succès rejaillit sur le parti tout entier' (Weulersse, i, p. 200). In short, the opinion expressed in this text (in favour of free trade, competition, etc.) was quite the opposite of the opinion held by the magistrates, and hence they decided it was not a good idea to have a text circulate that was so opposed to their way of thinking. 'Le Parlement du Dauphiné se fait défenseur de l'Edit de 1764, donc de la liberté du commerce des grains et de la concurrence.

1780rif. 3452Monclova 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. TRANSLATION: 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. 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: DECLARATIONS: ¶ 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. ¶ 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. ¶ 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. ¶ 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. ¶ 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. ¶ El Cavallero Teodoro de Croix. Antonio Bonilla Santiago 25 September 1780. Juan de Uvalde. unknown books

She is called the "mother of the Capuchins." The House of Waldstein is a Czech noble family that received prominent state and civil positions beginning in the 17th century. It was one of the first among the Bohemian nobility to be promoted to Graf count in 1628 and two years later to the imperial court. Its most famous members include General Albrecht von Wallenstein and statesman Ferdinand Gabriel von Waldstein the patron of Ludwig van Beethoven. The Order of the Capuchin Friars Minor is an Order of friars in the Catholic Church one of the chief offshoots of the Franciscan Order. The Order began in 1520 when Matteo da Bascio an Observant Franciscan friar said he had been inspired by God with the idea of that the manner of life led by the Franciscans at the time was not in keeping with their found St. Francis of Assisi had envisioned. He created the Capuchin Order to return to the primitive way of life solitude and penance as practiced by St. Francis. The name of their order comes from the Cappuccio a hood worn by the Camaldolese monks in gratitude for refuge given by the monks in the initial years of the order. Dr. Johann August Wilhelm Neander 1789-1850 was a German theologian and church historian. Originally born into a Jewish family he changed his name to Neander when he became a Christian in 1806. A German Lutheran he studied with F D. Schleiermacher 1768-1834 in Berlin but soon switched his interest from speculative theology to church history. His General History of the Christian Religion and Church Allgemeine Geschichte der christlichen Religion und Kirche remains the greatest monument of his genius. In this Neander's chief aim was everywhere to understand what was individual in history. In the principal figures of ecclesiastical history he tried to depict the representative tendencies of each age and also the types of the essential tendencies of human nature generally. His guiding principle in dealing both with the history and with the present condition of the church was "that Christianity has room for the various tendencies of human nature and aims at permeating and glorifying them all; that according to the divine plan these various tendencies are to occur successively and simultaneously and to counterbalance each other so that the freedom and variety of the development of the spiritual life ought not to be forced into a single dogmatic form" Otto Pfleiderer. Neander had considerable influence not only in his own church and country but also further afield through the combination of scholarly excellence and personal interest that he achieved in his teaching and writing. Neander believed that church history is not just an academic pursuit but part of the mission and ministry of the church. The Congregation of St. Maur often known as the Maurists were a congregation of French Benedictines established in 1621 and known for their high level of scholarship. The congregation and its members were called after Saint Maurus died 565 a disciple of Saint Benedict credited with introducing the Benedictine rule and life into Gaul. The primary idea of the movement was not the undertaking of literary and historical work but the return to a strict monastic regime and the faithful carrying out of Benedictine life. Their historical and critical school produced a number of works of scholarship which still are of permanent value. The foundations of this school were laid by Dom Tarisse the first superior-general who in 1632 issued instructions to the superiors of the monasteries to train the young monks in the habits of research and of organized work. The output was prodigious coming from a single society. The qualities that have made Maurist work proverbial for learning are its critical tact and its thoroughness. Pope Gregory I Latin: Gregorius I; c. 540 - 12 March 604 commonly known as Saint Gregory the Great was Pope from 3 September 590 to his death in 604. Gregory is well known for his writings which were more prolific than those of any of his predecessors as pope. He is also known as St. Gregory the Dialogist in Eastern Orthodoxy because of his Dialogues. For this reason English translations of Orthodox texts will sometimes list him as Gregory Dialogus. Throughout the Middle Ages he was known as the Father of Christian Worship because of his exceptional efforts in revising the Roman worship of his day. His contributions to the development of the Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts still in use in the Eastern Orthodox Church were so significant that he is generally recognized as its de facto author. The Protestant reformer John Calvin admired Gregory and declared in his Institutes that Gregory was the last good pope. He is the patron saint of musicians singers students and teachers. The mainstream form of Western plainchant standardized in the late 9th century was attributed to Pope Gregory I and so took the name of Gregorian chant. Gregory is commonly credited with founding the medieval papacy and so many attribute the beginning of medieval spirituality to him. Gregory is the only Pope between the fifth and the eleventh centuries whose correspondence and writings have survived enough to form a comprehensive corpus. GREGORIUS I MAGNUS 540-604.
