About This Item
Madrid, Tipografía "Sindicato de Publicidad", 1914.. FIRST EDITION. 8°, original printed wrappers (some chipping; spine largely gone). Partly unopened. Browning. In good condition, if just barely. 205 pp., (1 blank l.). *** FIRST EDITION. This book deals with the reforms of Charles III, Indian abuses under the later Bourbons, debates in the Cortes on citizenship, castes, equality of Creoles and Spaniards, and representation of the Americas in the legislative body. The slave trade, slavery, and the later political crises of the 1820s and 1830s are also treated. The author (1840-1918), a deputy to the Spanish Cortes in the late nineteenth century, was a founder of the Sociedad Abolicionista Española . He was a native of Havana who moved to Madrid with his family aged ten. The front wrapper has the subtitle Estudio historico-jurídico. This does not appear on the title page, which has at its head Las Cortes de Cádiz de 1810-1813, and states, below the name of the author "Editado por varios Americanistas". There appears to be a 2004 reprint. *** Palau 129185. Griffin, ed. Latin America: a Guide to the Historical Literature 3428. NUC: NNC (imperfect).
