Description: Buenos Aires: Gandarillas y Socios, 1816. Very good.. Rare pamphlet addressed to the populace calling for unity in the wake of the Congress of Tucumán's formal declaration of independence from Spain. On 9 July 1816, the Congress of Tucumán declared independence from Spain. The Congress, a body similar to the American Continental Congress, spoke for the United Provinces of South America - modern-day Argentina, Uruguay, and a few provinces of Bolivia - amid colonial conflicts, civil wars, and independence movements occurring in the Spanish Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata since 1810. The declaration was a triumphant moment for the Congress, but there remained significant discord and chaos among the revolutionaries themselves. This pamphlet followed in early August, urging the people to support the unifying efforts of the Congress to create a stable independent state after revolution. This document thus records the delicate transition in any revolution - one that the United States successfully navigated, while the leaders of the French Revolution did not: how to establish a new authority, a new state, after years of such profound dissatisfaction with a governing authority that citizens were willing to risk their lives to overthrow it. The MANIFIESTO describes how that mindset, so foundational to achieving independence, was now putting the infant nation at risk: "the horror of the chains we broke brought about the dissolution of the bonds of obedience and respect for the nascent authority." The Congress presents the situation as a choice of the people between two fates: "union and order, or unfortunate fate" ("union y órden, ó suerte desgraciada"). Indeed, the Congress proclaimed in this pamphlet, "Fin de la revolución, principio del orden": End of the revolution, beginning of order. Ultimately, independence would not be so simple; fighting in various forms continued for a number of years, and both Uruguay and parts of Bolivia would develop their own states. Yet the actions of the Congress of Tucumán created a unified message and forceful vision of the future. In the words of Bartolomé Mitre, the first president of unified Argentina, the Congress of Tucumán "saved the revolution" (2:346). Rare in commerce: we find no records appearing at auction. 8'' x 6''. Original printed wrappers with Greek-rule border and central neoclassical woodcuts. [2], 34 pages. Wrappers foxed, with some soil and edgewear. Only light foxing to text.

Author: March, James
Seller: Michael Brown Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Description: folio, two pages, plus stamp-less address leaf, some folds, and creases, else in very good, clean, and legible condition. 1848 British Immigrant in Pennsylvania Coal Mine Region, Petitions US Government for Worker's Rights. Dear Rebecca, …I mentioned in my last letter that it was my intention to go to California but I am happy to tell you that I have done according to your wishes although I am sorry to tell you that I cannot fulfill my promises, that is, to spend Christmas with you as I have been appointed Delegate to Pottsville and Schuylkill County at large for the purpose of carrying out a petition that has been drawn by the Citizens of Tamaqua for the Laboring Man to receive his money and not Store Goods. Said petition to be presented to the Government to pass a Law to that effect so I hop[e] you will excuse my absence… …I promise you that I will ever be constant to you and none else for you are the highest in my esteem and is esteemed by all who know you. I must now conclude for it is very late and to morrow morning I must commences my journey…" 22 year-old James March, an immigrant from England who had apparently been ready to make the trek to California the week that President Polk formally announced the discovery of gold in America's new western territory, acceded to the wishes of his sweetheart to remain in Pennsylvania. His census record describe him as "laborer" rather than a miner, but he seems to have been well-regarded by the disgruntled men who labored in the mines of the Monongahela Valley. Discontent had been rampant in the region since 1842 when miners of Schuylkill County marched on the County seat to protest low wages, a short-lived strike that was broken up by a local militia company. Then in 1848, the year this letter was written, John Bates, another British immigrant who had been involved in the Chartist working-class movement for political reform in England, organized a formal union which soon enrolled some 5,000 miners in Schuylkill county. Perhaps it was this organization that chose March to present a petition with their demands – not for higher wages, but to receive remuneration in cash rather than in kind. Seven months later, the union did strike for a wage increase, to which the mine operators were forced to agree, though the union itself collapsed after word spread that Bates had absconded with its funds. There seems to be no record of what became of March's petition, but he, like his countryman, may have said farewell to the Pennsylvania coal mines soon after marrying Rebecca and becoming the father of a baby boy. There is no further census record of March or his wife in Schuylkill County after 1850.
