About This Item
Burdeos [Bourdeaux]: Carlos Lawalle Sobrino, 1832. 8vo, full calf, 598 [2] pp. Chips to head of spine, ex-libris stamp to preliminary page, text block fine, very good to near fine overall. Very Good. A nice first edition copy of Tadeo Ortiz's second historical work, written during his time as Consul in Bourdeaux and printed in Bourdeaux after he had returned to America to work as official commissioner in Texas. Ortiz advocated free trade and was in support of colonization in the northern frontier. "This idealistic statesman approved of free trade for his country, although he also believed in government subsidization of economic development. He showed a remarkable interest in the geographical aspects of the economy. Though he never played an important role in the Mexican party struggles of his age, he searched and gained support mainly among such conservative politicians as Manuel de Mier y Terán." - Texas State Historical Association.
