1783Best.-Nr. CA114212 pages with crest to title page. Quarto 11 1/4" x 8" single folded sheet housed in a custom made enclosure. First edition. Cedula Latin means in general an order or authorization; in earlier times such a document on the authority of the king or a royal decree which for Spain and Spanish America was a decree issued directly by the monarch. During the second half of the eighteenth century the Spanish Crown monopolized the tobacco industry in its American colonies creating vertically integrated organisations which included factories for the production of cigars and cigarettes. Few economic activities were more vital to the development of the Spanish American economies that the cultivation manufacture and commercialization of tobacco. Tobacco was the second most important export industry in Spanish America at the time. The decision of the Bourbon monarchs to monopolize the industry was a critical component of their plan to increase government revenues through a renewed contract with the colonists. This Spanish royal decree issued at the end of the War of American Independence to take effect January 1 1784 alters the basis for the tobacco trade set up as a monopoly under Phillip V and establishing new regulations for the business. This decree mainly affected the American colonies including Louisiana. Condition: Some soiling on front and back; last page has columns of numbers and damp-stain along edge one inner page heavily soiled near head else a very good copy in a fine enclosure.

"In Spanish and English and relates principally to affairs in America" Sabin with particular emphasis on Florida. The book charges that the King of England authorized Captains of the ships 'Pompey Galley' and 'Fortune' to cruise the Florida coast and collect loot from ship-wrecks. With a force of 600 men the English overpowered Spaniards who were guarding their own collection of salvaged loot and "did rob about 400000 pesoes without any other pretense but that of their greediness." The Madrid printing in Spanish issued earlier in 1739.The document sets forth Spanish grievances dating from the early 1700s relating to conflicts in the New World-- from Newfoundland to Florida and the West Indies. The conflicts came to a head in the War of Jenkins' Ear commenced in October 1739. Sabin 17026. Servies 334. Bartlett John Carter Brown Library 618. ESTC N27944. Printed for T. Cooper... unknown
1841Best.-Nr. 10216Madrid: Boix 1841. Full Leather. Very Good binding. Folios. 12 335 1 4 334 2; 2 319 1 4 147 3 113 1 105 1 31 1 pp. Fifth edition. In marbled sheep. Tabbed markers applied by an early owner dividing the books and various indices. Light rubbing to the extremities and minor wear to the spine but a handsome and solid set; some early repairs to the marginal tears to a few leaves including the inner margin of the title page; light spotting to the contents but fairly clean and bright throughout. Handsome mid-19th century edition of the first comprehensive compilation of the laws of the Spanish Indies. Antonio Rodríguez de León Pinello compiled it by 1635 but it circulated only in manuscript until Fernando Jiménez de Paniagua brought it up to date and saw the result through the press in 1681. Prior to the publication of this massive work it was common practice for lawyers and courts in the various legal districts of the New World i.e. audiencias to compile in manuscript the laws in force in order that they might be used as precedents. Upon publication of this code the number of precedents did not as might have been expected decrease via "regularization" but instead increased: The courts continued to accept the cases and laws on point in the old local manuscript compilations and also those contained in the Recopilación! In sum this is a major work for all collections of international and Hispanic-specific law. The first edition is very uncommon in today's marketplace meaning most scholars and collectors must settle for a later edition such as this fifth — which has the advantage of being handsomely printed in double-column format. This copy is attractively bound as well. From the library of Marcelo Martinez-Alcubilla noted lawyer and legal scholar. His bookplate is on the front pastedown and name in ink on the title page of each volume. A 20th century Madrid bookseller's ticket on the front pastedown of the first volume this covers a 19th century bookseller's ticket. Palau VI p 223; Sabin 68390. Boix unknown

With a cast ornament on title-page and 4 woodcut initials. One of four issues published in the same year of a pamphlet concerning the possibility of a truce with Spain containing the "considerations and reasons" proposed by the Dutch West-India Company WIC to the Dutch States General. After the loss of 's Hertogenbosch in 1629 the Spanish King Philip IV proposed a truce which left the Dutch Republic divided also causing debate between the Remonstrants Counter-Remonstrants and Calvinists who first wished to create unity before paying attention to Spain. The directors and shareholders of the WIC dreaded a truce with Spain since capturing Spanish ships was a large source of income for the company Piet Heyn had captured the Zilvervloot in 1628. It would also have thwarted the WIC intentions to conquer some Spanish territory in Brazil.With modern bookplate.

1649Best.-Nr. 62712Madrid. May 27 1649. Transferring the Viceroyalty of Mexico with Special Reference to the "Good Treatment of the Indians" A manuscript royal order from Philip IV with his stamped signature "Yo el Rey" directing the Viceroy of New Spain to deliver all orders letters and other relevant papers addressed to himself as well as those addressed to all previous viceroys to his successor. The order specifies that he is to hand over everything of relevance in all "matters of spiritual and temporal government war and finances and particularly with regard to the education and good treatment of the Indians" our translation. The document is further endorsed "Por mando del Rey" and signed by the secretary for the Council of the Indies and New Spain on the verso of the first leaf. The second leaf of the bifolium contains text dated the 27th of June 1650 the day the new Viceroy arrived in Mexico City and is signed by three members of the Audienca confirming that the order has been carried out as directed. The exact reasons for Philip's specifications are unclear but it seems more than likely that we have Juan de Palafox y Mendoza to thank. Palafox known in equal parts for his interest in education efforts on behalf of indigenous Americans and his endless quarrels with the Jesuit order was Viceroy himself in 1642 and remained in the powerful position of visitador general until his recall in 1648; his influence in New Spain would have remained strong despite his recent departure. What the King could not have known when composing this order on May 27 1649 was that the incumbent Viceroy Marcos de Torres had actually died of illness just days prior. The Audienca ran the government in his stead until his replacement Luis Enríquez de Guzmán conde de Alba de Liste arrived the following year. Guzmán has his work cut out for him and was likely grateful for the particular documents delivered to him as a result of this order as he was forced to contend with a revolt of the Tarahumara people in northern Mexico immediately upon arrival. While Guzmán was able to put down the rebellion without much trouble and did not himself institute any punitive policies the struggle remained evidence that the brief peace in the mid-17th century was coming to an end and the late 16 and early 1700s would be rife with conflict between the Spanish and the indigenous people of Mexico. A noteworthy royal order regarding New Spain evidencing a brief period of friendlier relations between the Spanish crown and the native peoples of the New World. Light edge wear some very minor foxing and soiling. Very good. unknown
1718Best.-Nr. 12727Madrid 1718. 3pp. on a folded folio sheet. Minor toning and creasing. Very good. An interesting pair of communications from Spain to colonial Mexico involving debts owed by local religious orders in the Yucatan and how to enforce collection of said debts. The transcripts of these letters were sent to the Spanish administrator at Yucatan by Father Joseph Sanz the Commissary General for New Spain. Here Sanz instructs the Provincial to identify which orders within the Yucatan owe money payable to the estate of the "Duquesa de Medina las torres" a title within Spanish peerage since 1625. In the second letter which begins on page two Father Sanz orders the local Commissary General to make sure that his orders to the Provincial are duly carried out. An instructive instance documenting the regular practice by Spanish authorities in extracting wealth from local Mexican subjects to send back to the gentry in Spain. unknown

A vital Bourbon-era administrative imprint codifying the direct state takeover of the financial apparatus fueling Potosi's Cerro Rico "Rich Mountain"-the legendary source of the global silver trade in Upper Peru present-day Bolivia. For over two centuries Potosi generated an unprecedented influx of wealth that sustained Spanish imperial hegemony fueled European market expansion and dictated global trade dynamics with Asia. However by the late 18th century declining ore grades inefficiency and private corruption plagued production. In response to these fiscal pressures the Spanish Crown executed sweeping Bourbon reforms to modernize tax collection and streamline mining operations. Originally established as a private guild bank Gremio de Azogueros to support local miners with short-term credit and essential supplies the Banco de San Carlos was formally incorporated into the Royal Treasury Real Hacienda by King Carlos IV. This official royal decree prints both the charter of state incorporation Real Cedula de Incorporacion and the complete operational regulations Ordenanzas governing the re-organized institution. The substantial 107-page appendix contains intricate ledger formats sample audit forms and four massive folding balance tables designed to enforce strict bureaucratic oversight over colonial administrators in South America.
