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.

Her reforms and those she made with her husband had an influence that extended well beyond the borders of their united kingdoms.

1808Best.-Nr. 1609070023Madrid: La Imprenta Real 1808-01-01. Hardcover. Good. 146 p. 68 plates. Original sheep red spine label royal seal on title page. Wear and rubbing to boards some worming later paper label to tail of spine. Hinges cracking slightly marginal dampstain affecting a few plates. This book was issued by the Bourbon Royal Press. It depicts infantry practice and maneuvers of a Napoleonic era army. The Treaty of Fontainebleau 1807 between Charles IV of Spain and Napoleon I of France concerned the occupation of Portugal. Charles IV hoped it would lead to an alliance between the French Empire as in pre-revolutionary times. However six months later Napoleon turned on his new ally. The Spanish Army was ill-equipped and lacked tactical training and this book was a last-ditch effort to improve the state of the Spanish army's training. Overall it was not a success as Napoleon ridiculed the Spanish army as "the worst in Europe" and the British forces who had to work with it agreed. Madrid: La Imprenta Real hardcover
