London: Printed by J.H. Schrader, 1866. First edition. Stitched paper wrappers. Nicks to spine else a near fine copy.. 39 pp. 8vo. 'Speech delivered by his Excellency The Minister for Foreign Affairs in the Chamber of Deputies, on the 22nd May, 1866' (plus documents including one by Casto Méndez-Núñez). After Spain was humiliated during the Chincha Islands War with Chile, Spanish Adm. Casto Méndez-Núñez (1824-1869) ordered his six ships to savage the undefended port of Valparaíso on 31 March 1866. Both Spain, for the attack, and Britain, for not using its fleet to stop it, were condemned by the international community.
