1845Best.-Nr. 5307Havana: Imprenta del Gobierno y Capitania General por S.M. 1845. Good. 684pp. Disbound. Some insect damage to gutter of title page ample staining throughout mostly minor foxing. A very rare mid-19th century Cuban imprint translating into Spanish a work by German philosophical historian Wilhelm Gottlieb Tennemann entitled Manual of the History of Philosophy. Tennemann originally published the work in 1812 as a much-abridged history of philosophy after authoring a massive multi-volume work on the subject. According to the translator's note at the beginning of the text the present work was produced in order to provide a text in Spanish for those studying the history of philosophy "at the Royal Academy and in the private schools of the island of Puerto Rico." The translator also notes that the history of philosophy is "one of the subjects.of the general plan of education that must be taught." The work itself is organized as a series of lectures detailing the history of philosophy chronologically from ancient Eastern and Egyptian times through the Greeks Pythagoras Socrates Plato Aristotle and many others concluding with modern thinkers such as Descartes Espinosa Hume Kant Hegel and others. The work ends with an Index and an Errata page. "Wilhelm Gottlieb Tennemann 1761–1819 German historian of philosophy was born at Erfurt. Educated at his native town he became lecturer on the history of philosophy at Jena in 1788. Ten years later he became professor at the same university where he remained till 1804. His great work is an eleven-volume history of philosophy which he began at Jena and finished at Marburg where he was professor of philosophy from 1804 till his death. He was one of the numerous German philosophers who accepted the Kantian theory as a revelation. In 1812 he published a shorter history of philosophy which was translated into English in 1852 under the title Manual of the History of Philosophy" - Encyclopedia Britannica.

1916Best.-Nr. 4158Havana 1916. Very good. Broadside printed on light orange silk approximately 16.25 x 9 inches. Minor edge wear one small tear near bottom right. A seemingly unrecorded silk broadside issued by the Cuba-American Jockey Club Company advertising the lineup of horses and the schedule for a series of five races during Dia de las Damas "Ladies Day" at the Oriental Park racetrack in Marianao Havana in 1916. In addition the top of the broadside is printed with small oval- and diamond-shaped portraits picturing the nine officers of the club who are identified by name and their position within the club. Below these portraits is a listing of fourteen officers of the club. The Oriental Park Racetrack "Parque Oriental" opened in 1915 for winter racing which began in November and lasted into March each year. The racetrack was the only thoroughbred track in Cuba until Fidel Castro practically shut it down after the Cuban Revolution in 1959. The present broadside is a visual reminder of the influx of American business interests in Cuba in the early 20th century. No copies reported in OCLC. unknown books

1828Best.-Nr. 2401Gibraltar 1828. Good. 3pp. on a bifolium. Previously folded with separations. Tanned somewhat brittle. An interesting example of official communications concerning trade between colonial Cuba and the Spanish mainland. In this manuscript letter date March 14 1828 the new Spanish Vice Consul in Gibraltar writes to the Governor General of Cuba concerning several topics. These include the regulation of shipping to Cuba and by implication the rest of the Caribbean through Gibraltar particularly of French ships leaving Mediterranean ports. Also discussed is keeping track of individuals particularly merchants going to Cuba by means of identification papers and other documents. The consul also reminds the colonial government of the importance of documenting duties and tariffs paid for shipping cargo and goods. unknown books
1796Best.-Nr. 5074Mexico City: May 13 1796. About very good. Broadside 17 x 12.25 inches. Old fold lines. Slight separation and loss at center fold slightly affecting a few letters. Minor wear else. Proclamation made by the Viceroy of New Spain authorizing trade between Cuba and the United States. The Caribbean was in tumult in the 1790s with Toussaint L'Ouverture overthrowing the French colonial government and outlawing slavery. Likewise in Cuba there was a similar revolt against slavery demanding abolition and equality -- both revolutions were of substantial concern to slaveholders in the American South. Specifically the present decree mentions flour and other vital foodstuffs as a measure against shortages in Cuba intended to prevent further trouble. "Para precaver la escasez de viveres y con especialidad de harinas que verosimilmente causaria la guerra concedio El Rey Permiso por Real Orden de 25 Junio de 93. para que los Anglo-Americanos.pudiesen conducirlos a la Havana pagando los derechos los puertos habilitados de España." The Viceroy at the time was Don Miguel de la Grua Talamanca de Carini y Branciforte First Marques de Branciforte. The Marques was notoriously corrupt even for colonial Spain having gained position through marriage to the Prime Minister's sister. He made sure to make some profit on everything that passed through his hands including taking advantage of the war in Cuba to remove the French from their lands and sell them to his benefit. A rare and interesting decree. We locate a single copy in OCLC at the University of Minnesota. May 13 unknown books
1818Best.-Nr. 3189Havana 1818. Good. Broadside 11.75 x 8 inches. Heavily tanned. An apparently unrecorded Havana imprint comprising a broadside authorization for increased funding to be extended to the superintendent of Havana so that he can maximize the potential of the island's tobacco plantations. This credit is matched by the superintendent’s promise to use the money "con el preciso destino de comprar y remitir á España las mayores cantidades posibles de este género." The superintendent must also swear to be vigilant and honest in his account-taking reports to Spain and "Avise con toda la anticipacion posible los acopios y compras que verifique à proporcion que tenga de hacerlos y probabilidad en las remesas con seguridad aprovechándo todas las ocasiones que se le presenten para remitir cigarros y hoja de buena calidad á la Peninsula aunque sea con bandera extrangera."
