1826réf. 51528Santiago: Imprenta de la Biblioteca 1826. Five early issues of important decrees and documents promulgated by members of the Chilean government published from April 18 to June 7 1826. Chile declared its independence from Spain in 1810 but did not expel all colonial forces from its mainland until 1821 and the last Spanish elements from its island territories until 1826. A Chilean constitution was not established until 1833. These registers therefore provide intriguing documentation of a nascent independent Chilean government after a long period of rebellion and civil war. The documents here consist principally of directives from several government departments including those for war finance foreign relations and the interior. The series printed through 1827 comprises eighty-four total issues parts of which are recorded by OCLC in only four institutions. A few chips and minor paper loss at the corners. Moderately tanned light dampstaining. About very good. Untrimmed. OCLC 4879139. unknown

1824réf. 57794Santiago de Chile: Imprenta Nacional 1824. Chile's "Moralistic Constitution" Chile's short-lived but significant constitution of 1823 nicknamed the "Moralistic Constitution." Chile's first officially independent constitution was adopted in 1818 and granted revolutionary leader Bernardo O'Higgins considerable power which he consolidated further in a widely despised revision in 1822. O'Higgins was peacefully deposed by a new more conservative group under the leadership of Ramón Freire in early 1823 and a special congress was convened to create a new constitution presided over by Juan Egaña. Egaña was chiefly responsible for drafting and proposing the present document which was approved the next day and promulgated the day after. The eighty-one page 277-article document begins with an outwardly liberal appearance: after stating that "Chile is a nation independent of the Spanish monarchy and of any other power" it declares that its "constitutional protections and laws protect every individual who lives in Chile" and provides citizenship to any person who has lived and worked in the country for one year all quotations our own translation. It further states that "every Chilean is equal before the law" and takes a firm stand against slavery. Article eight reads in full that "In Chile there are no slaves: any who stands on its territory for one natural day will be free. Any who carry on the business of slavery may not live here more than one month and may never be naturalized." On the other hand article ten declares that "The state religion is the Apostolic Roman Catholic Church: to the exclusion of worship and practice of any other." Practicing Catholicism is made a requirement for suffrage and the broadly granted citizenship is just as easy to lose including for "habitual drunkenness or prohibited gaming." Additionally the press is considered "free protected and rewarded so long as it contributes to morality and good habits" and is expressly forbidden from "meddling in the mysteries dogmas and religious discipline and morals generally approved by the Catholic Church." Despite its eager acceptance and immediate promulgation Egaña's document proved unwieldy and unpopular; it was suspended the following July and abrogated in November. A more liberal constitution would finally replace it in 1828 although this sparked a civil war in which the conservative faction came out ahead once again. The new constitution of 1833 was spearheaded by Egaña's son Mariano de Egaña and remained in force until 1925.

An anonymous criticism of "The circular which the minister of foreign affairs of Chile addressed to the diplomatic agents of the republic abroad" n. p. 1881 concerning the Pacific War and issued by the Chilean Ministerio de relaciones exteriores. "The latest illustration of this larcenous diabolism is furnished by the Chileans in their account of the antecedents origin and progress of the ruthless war now waged by them with the assistance of a confederacy of powerful and unscrupulous English merchants against the States of Bolivia and Peru. To anyone familiar with the real facts of this internecine struggle the effrontery of Balmaceda in appending his name to the tissue of fabrications now become notorious under the name of the Chilean Circular to Foreign Governments seems sublime." n.p. unknown

1831réf. 5758Valparaiso & Santiago 1831. Good plus. 31pp. Varying size sheets but mostly small folio. Two sections of material sewn and bradded together. Moderate wear at edges. Scattered contemporary ink stamps. Some tanning and occasional soiling. In Spanish and French; accomplished in several mostly legible hands. An interesting group of documents that provide details of a late 1820s voyage from Callao to Valparaiso made by a French cargo ship called the Charles et Adolphe. The preponderance consists of accounts bills and expenses for the journey including an account of wages owed to South American sailors and hands aboard the vessel tariffs and customs charges bills and payments for cargo from local trading companies in Valparaiso. Many of these are signed "Bon à payer" by the captain of the vessel a Monsieur Gigneaux for whom we locate no immediate information; some are additionally signed or countersigned by the local French consular diplomats. The journey was apparently somewhat fraught and unsuccessful with some damage occurring to the cargo caused by a leak sprung in the hold during the voyage. The most absorbing document present is a report on a tribunal for the matter held during 1831 in a special French consular chancery court in which the ships' captain representatives of the cargo owners consular officers and several witnesses were present. The minutes describe the damage to the ship and cargo and provides the account of local witnesses two captains drafted to assess the condition of the boat once it arrived in port who testified that the ship was otherwise in good condition and the leak and subsequent damage were neither foreseeable or caused by any negligence on the part of the Charles et Adolphe's captain or crew. A number of the financial records here relate to the repair of the ship and expenses incurred while in port during the repair work. A good group of material representing a confluence of issues concerning international shipping and trade in early independent Chile. unknown
