Title: Don Matias de Galvez Teniente General de los Reales Exercitos de S.M. Virrey, Gobernador y Capitan General del Reyno de Nuevo España... Con el Importantisimo Objeto... [caption title and first line of text]
Author: [Mexico]. [Mining]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Mexico City: January 15, 1784. Very good.. [3]pp. Folio on a folded sheet. Light soiling and wear. In 1783, Spain passed an expansive reform of mining laws in its colonial empire that centralized the industry under royal control. Amongst other measures, the new law created a guild of mine owners, the Real Cuerpo de Minería; a tribunal for resolving mining disputes and violations; a specific new bank for the mining interests and money only; and a privilege for the industry that exempted it from some general colonial law. The present decree, which accompanied the promulgation of the laws in New Spain on January 15, 1784, orders in no uncertain terms that its articles be followed to the letter by all colonial government officials, with no exception for custom, local practice, or tradition: "Se arreglan precisamente à ellas, executándolas y observándolas con la mayor exactitud en lo que corresponda à cada uno, teniendo todo lo contenido en ellas por Ley y Estatuto firme y perpetuo, y guardándolo y haciéndolo observar inviolablemente sin embargo de otras qualesquiera Leyes, Ordenanzas, Establemientos, costumbres ó practicas que hubiere en contrario, pues en quanto lo fueren las revoco expresamente, y quiero no tengan efecto alguno; prohibiendo, como prohibo, el que se interpreten ó glosen en ningun modo, porque es mi voluntad se esté precisamente á su letra y expreso sentido." It goes on to order that the law be distribute by bando to the relevant cities, towns, and mining centers, and threatens grave penalties for the violation of its terms. The order is signed in print by the Viceroy, Matias de Galvez. OCLC locates only two copies, at Texas A&M and the BNE.

Title: Raccolta di poemi didascalici e di poemetti vari scritti nel secolo XVIII.
Author: Società tipografica de' classici Italiani.
Seller: Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Milano: Società tipografica de' classici Italiani, 1828. Very Good. 23 cm; xxiii, [3], 548, [4] pages. Frontispiece mezzotint portrait of Bartolommeo Lorenzi. Bound in contemporary mottled sheep over marbled boards. Joints beginning to split at crown and heel. Occasional light stains. Not only do anthologies like this one provide a broad cross-section of a literary moment by including the work of many contemporary poets, but they also preserve the best work of minor poets that would otherwise be lost. This 19th-century tribute to the Age of Enlightenment immediately past includes works of Roberti, Lorenzi, Rezzonico, Mascheroni, Bettinelli, Frugoni, Bondi, Mazza, and Paradisi. It focuses on didactic poetry, a form in which the Enlightenment excelled, and epistolary poetry, which lends itself to the discursive tone so favored by the Illuministi.
