Title: [Manuscript Journal and Scrapbook Containing Original Poems and Extracts of Printed Works by 19th-Century Cuban-American Poet, Manuel Francisco Barranco y Miranda]
Author: [Cuba]: Barranco y Miranda, Manuel Francisco
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: Good.
Description: [Havana, Cuba, 1889. Good.. [69]pp. of manuscript text, plus [77]pp. of newspaper extracts. Contemporary quarter calf and marbled paper-covered boards. Moderate scuffing and wear to boards and edges, spine scuffed. Hinges broken, with text block only nominally attached by threads, with many leaves detached. Ownership ink stamp on front free endpaper, "Manuel F. Barranco" with a gilt insignia affixed below reading, "MB." A unique and personal manuscript journal and scrapbook composed and maintained by an important but obscure Cuban-American poet and author, Manuel Francisco Barranco y Miranda (1843-1894). Barranco was born in Puerto Principe and lived about half of his life in Cuba before emigrating to Florida in 1875. He married Mercedes Fernández y Fernández-Mora and the couple raised a family in Cuba, Florida, and New York. Mentions of Barranco are rare in available records, but he seems to have been a colleague of famed Cuban revolutionary figure, Jose Marti. Barranco and Marti were involved with a Cuban revolutionary emigrant colony in Key West, as well as Cuban literary and political societies in Havana and New York, such as La Liga. Regarding the latter, one of Barranco's poems in the present work, composed in eleven parts, is titled, "Versos recitados en la sesion ordinaria de la Sociedad Literaria Hispano-Americana, la noche del 17 de Maya de 1889." The Sociedad Literaria Hispano-Americana, or Spanish American Literary Society provides a further connection to Jose Marti, as Marti was one of the most prominent members of the club in the 1880s and '90s. Barranco presumably spent the remainder of his life between Cuba and the eastern coast of the United States, where he passed away in Tampa, Florida in 1894. The present material was written and compiled by Barranco over about a thirty year period in the mid-19th century, before and after he emigrated to the United States. The chief feature of the present work is contained in almost seventy pages of manuscript poetry by Barranco. The poems, which number around a couple dozen compositions, include "Un Delirio" (written in six parts), "Versas improvisados en el Bautiro de mi hija Ana Maria el dia 1 de Enero de 1875," "Versos improvisados en comemora cion del Bautiro de mi hija Ana Maria el dio 1 de Enero del 1876," "Al congreso de la Paz," and various sonnets and other poems dated between 1875 and 1889. Barranco authored a few poems here about his wife, Mercedes, with titles such as "A Mercedes," "Improvisados a la orrilla del mon - A Mercedes," and "Al contemplar tu retrato." He also composed poems about his mother, Ana Maria Sebastiana de Miranda. Several of the later poems from 1888-89 are datelined Havana next to the date of composition, indicating Barranco moved back and forth between Cuba and America. The manuscript text is supplemented by almost eighty pages of newspaper extracts featuring various articles, letters, and printed poetry by Barranco, published under his own name and a pen name, "Leunam." The subject matter of these pieces include education, women, literature, and various family members and other subjects in his own poetry. An example of the latter is a memorial poem for his granddaughter, Margarita Barranco, who died in Puerto Principe in 1866. Following the manuscript poems themselves is a single handwritten page of contents relating to these newspaper extracts. The extracts very likely come from Cuban newspapers and periodicals since they predate his move to Florida in 1875. A printed note laid into the book reads: "A Bound Journal Containing Published and Unpublished (Handwritten) Letters and Poems by My Grandfather, Manuel Francisco Barranco y Miranda in Habana in the mid-19th Century (Probably During the Period 1859-1869)." Not much else is easily discovered about Barranco, providing an excellent chance for original research into the work of this obscure but important 19th-century Cuban-American poet and writer.

Title: Demokratische Thronrede um 22sten Mai 1848 nicht gehalten. Dem demokratische Klubb gewidmet
Author: [REVOLUTIONS of 1848] [GERMANY] Anon
Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books (United States)
Description: [Berlin: 1848]: Vereins Buchdruckerei. Broadside, 27cm x 20cm (ca 10-3/4" x 8"). Printed in blackletter on white wove stock. Slightly toned, with old vertical and horizontal fold-lines; creased at margins; Very Good. Satirical broadside in the form of a fictional speech by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, in which he (ironically) expresses support for the demands made by liberal parliamentarians at the May 18th Parliamentary Assembly in Frankfurt-am-Main. These included expanded rights for the underprivileged classes (including, most importantly, universal male suffrage); attenuation of executive power; the election of a permanent German parliament, and monetary reforms including a unified German currency. The great wave of liberal revolt that washed over the European Continent in 1848 proved short-lived; by 1851, most of the newly-established liberal régimes had been quashed by reactionary movements, with radical leaders either imprisoned, murdered, or driven into exile. Out of this crucible would arise the Franco-Prussian War and the militant Marxist, nihilist, and anarchist movements of later in the century. A highly evocative document of the first wave of German radical revolt. Rare; OCLC and KVK note three locations only, all in Germany.
