Title: Don Francisco Xavier Venégas de Saavedra...Habiendo Ilegado à Mis Manos un Periódico Sedicioso Intitulado "Ilustrador Nacional"... [caption title & first lines of text]
Author: [Mexico]. [Censorship]. Venegas de Saavedra, Francisco Xavier
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Dado en el Real Palacio de Mexico: June 1, 1812. Very good.. Broadside, 17 x 12.25 inches. Printed in two columns. Paper stamped on verso with the arms of Ferdinand VII, dated 1812-1813. Signed by Venegas with his mark after his printed name, as the viceroy of Spain, and signed in full by his secretary. Old folds, two short work tracks in right column affecting a handful of letters but not readability. A very rare broadside printed in colonial Mexico at the outset of the second phase of the revolution against Spain. The broadside gives notice that the circulation of the "seditious newspaper entitled National Illustrator, printed in Sultepec with the aim of hallucinating the masses [with] criminal and futile propositions" and "all other incendiary papers that are published by the rebels" is prohibited. Venegas also quotes extensively from three statutes of law which govern the censoring of publications, which stipulate penalties for those who posted issues of the newspaper publicly, penalties for those who "copied, read, or heard such seditious papers," and punishments for soldiers who read the paper. Venegas was a notable Spanish military leader who served as viceroy of New Spain from 1810 to 1813. He was replaced after being accused of going soft on the Mexican insurgents who would later win their freedom a year into the next decade. Venegas' term as viceroy seemed doomed from the start. Two days after he took office, insurgents under Father Miguel Hidalgo began the rebellion, taking control of a number of Mexican cities in about a month. Royalist troops soon responded, and took the upper hand and by early 1811 had regained all lost territory, executing the leaders of the rebellion. Political disputes over the 1812 Spanish Constitution sparked the embers of revolutionary spirit in Mexico, and Venegas was replaced in 1813 for "arbitrary measures that impeded the pacification of the country...[and] a lack of energy in suppressing the rebellion." OCLC locates just four copies of this broadside, at Indiana, the JCB, Texas A&M, and the National Library of Spain. Sabin 98853.

Description: London: Taylor and Francis, 1853. Whole issue in original printed wrappers, mostly uncut & unopened. [iv] 311-561 [1] 15pp.; 7 plates (Plates XIX. - XXVI.) Jacob Augustus Lockhart Clarke (1817-1880) was an English physician, physiologist, histologist and neurologist. Clarke received his material edication at Guy's Hispital and St. Thomas's Hospital in London. He was liscenced by the Apothecaries Society and subsequently went to love with his mother at Pimlico, where he established a private practice. From 1851 to 1868, while Clarke was engaged in general practice and continuing his studies at St. George's Hospital, he conducted his now famous research on the central nervous system. "Most of his numerous works were published in in the Philosophical Transactions (1851, 53, 58, 59, 60, 65, 68), in the Proceedings of the Royal Society (1857, 61), the Microscopical Journal, British and Foreign Medical Review (1864) and others. His earlier works concern the anatomy and the physiology of the medulla oblongata and the spinal marrow as well as the brain. His discovery of the Clark's column, also designated nucleus dorsalis, was done in this period. His later research is more concerned with pathological studies in his special field. he also published on tetanus, diabetes, paraplegias of muscular atrophy. Clarke was described as a man of the highest character, "with s singleness of purpose, of noble independence, honest and just, conscientious and intellectually keen, but with a singularly retiring and reserved disposition. He never acquired a large practice and is reputed not to have been well off financially." (Whonamedit? Jacob Augustus Lockhart Clarke. Accessed 11/4/2022. ).
