Description
Barcelona: Espasa y Compañía, editores, 1883. RIVA PALACIO, Vicente. . Mexico a traves de los siglos. Historia general y completa del desenvolvimiento social, político, religioso, militar, artístico, científico y literario de México desde la antigüedad más remota hasta la época actual. Obra única en su género. Publicada bajo la direccíon del General D. Vincente Riva Palacio é imparcial y concienzudamente escrita en vista de cuanto existe de notable...por los reputados literatos... Barcelona: Espasa y Compañía, Editores, [1883-90]. First edition. Five thick folio volumes. [4], 926, [2]; [4], 930, [2]; [4], 810, [2]; [4], 880; [4], 881, [3] pp. With sixty-nine (of seventy-two) plates and maps (including chromo-lithographs and a few photogravures) with tissue guards. Palua lits only 70 plates and in light of that the only plate definately missing is "Generals Don Ramon Corona" in the fifth volume. This title is almost always found with a varying number of plates. Numerous text engravings. Text in double columns. Modern suede in the Mexican mannner with red morocco gilt lettering labels placed in recessed panels, salmon endpapers. Very minor foxing. An excellent set of this truly monumental production. Don Vicente Riva Palacio (1832-1896), "As journalist and politcian, he participated in the revolutions that followed the restoration of the Republic...He was minister of Public Works, governer of states of Mexico and Michoacán, judge on the Supreme Court of Justice; and ended his days as Minister Plenipotentiary in Spain. He cultivated history, criticism, the drama, and poetry...had a taste for the historical novel and can be considered the creator of this genre in Mexico" (History of Mexican Literature, pp. 299-301, 338). "The grandson of President Guerrero was seeped in the politics of his nation from his birth. He was born October 16, 1832. It was a period of riot and repression in Mexico City. The people of the nation were rising against Bustamante, the president who had overthrown Guerrero. [Vincente's] Grandfather had been assassinated a year earlier [than Vincente's birth]. But the grandson of "the first Black President" was well schooled in family politics. Grandmother Guadalupe Hernandez de Guerrero was an activist who had the nick name "La Generala." Young Vicente's mother was fond of telling him stories about grandfather, who is considered in the histories to have been a champion of national sovereignty, political democracy, and equality between the races. Grandfather was also an advocate of a leveling of the classes. Grandson's political and writing career reflected these goals. At age 23 Vicente Riva Palacio was head of the city council in Mexico City. This was during the revolutionary government of President Juan Alvarez - the second "Black President." Riva Palacio went on to become a state governor, and he was one of the two generals in charge of the Mexican army during the deciding battle in 1867 at which the Mexican's defeated the forces of the French imperialist Maximillian. The political leader of the fight against Maximilian was President Benito Juarez, the pure Indian from Oaxaca. Juarez assigned Riva Palacio to obtain the colonial records of the Spanish Inquisition and digest them for publication. The Inquisition had been a police agency that engaged in cruel repression of the Mexican people. Juarez believed that the agency's records would reveal the degree to which Mexico had been held back during the long three centuries of Spanish rule. Riva Palacio used the Inquisition files, and other records, to create novels, short stories, footnoted historical works, political position papers and more. His novels were serialized in newspapers. The end of one novel would be followed immediately with the beginning of another, the editors fearing an angry public if they did not get their fill of Riva Palacio. In the 1880s Riva Palacio gathered a team of scholars that produced the five volume MEXICO A TRAVES DE LOS SIGLOS, Mexico through the Centuries, which is still going through reprints today, and which can be found in the public library shelves of virtually every public library in the [Mexican] nation. In it he told the story of those who struggled for freedom, from Cuauhtemoc and other Indigenous who fought against the Spanish conquest, through Yanga, and the suffering of the Jewish Carvajal family, through grandfather Vicente Guerrero. Vicente Riva Palacio died in Spain in 1896. He had been living their in semi-exile due to his opposition to the dictatorial policies of President Porfirio Diaz".

Still an important historical work on agricultural law and the law concerning dikes and watercourses, it examines Dutch law in Volumes I and II (1751, 1754). The final volume, which is titled Jus Agrarium Romanum (1753), examines Roman law. This study is based on a series of public debates (disputationes) he sponsored at the University of Freneker, where he was a professor of law. Born in Germany and educated at the universities of Halle, Leipzig, Marburg and Utrecht, Trotz was an important scholar of public and constitutional law. A prolific author, Jus Agrarium is his most important work. OCLC locates 3 copies in North American law libraries (Harvard, UC-Berkeley, Yale). We located another copy at the Library of Congress.

Leningrad: Iskusstvo, 1979. First edition; 8 x 10 ½; pp. [5], 6-136, [2]; original glossy pictorial boards; rubbing to lower right corner and a chip to back cover at spine, else very minor wear; illustrated with full-page color plates, in-line photographs, and drawings; summaries and legends in Russian, English, French, and German; very good or better. The Lomonosov estate, also known as Oranienbaum - is the oldest of the imperial palaces around Saint Petersburg. It was also the only one of the royal residences to escape Nazi capture during the Great Patriotic War. Possibly the most opulent of the Russian palaces, it was established by Peter the Great’s closest adviser Prince Menshikov. Used as a hospice in the 1700s after Menshikov’s death, the estate was given as a gift to Peter III. By the end of the 18th and throughout the 19th centuries the complex was alternately used as a Naval Cadet College, a royal summer residence, and a museum. Though never captured during the war, the palace and the gardens were bombarded and the restoration and preservation did not begin in earnest until the last several decades.
