Barcelona, 1639

A second volume was printed at Lima fifteen years later, but is almost introuvable. The above copy of the first vol. has only twelve out of the fourteen leaves of the Tabla. As this however is entirely concerned with the portions of the Sacred Scripture quoted in the text, its absence is not perhaps to be regretted.

VERY RARE. Prefaced by the official declaration of the President, Manuel Rodriguez Torices, dated 14 June, 1812, in the second year of the independence. This republic did not deserve to last long, since it forbade the use of any other religion than the Roman Catholic. The mother of those ungrateful South American colonies could do no worse.

The map is a very fine one, on a large scale, and was executed by Louis Surville under the order of Don Josef de Galvez, a noted name in Spanish American history. Caulin spent many years as a missionary in the northern regions of South America.

A very fine piece of work, the best of its kind up to the present time It is curious to note the little strips of territory marked " que se considera usurpado" by the English or the Brazilians.

A politico-satirical periodical in which the events of the day are reviewed and crticized by an invisible being-the Duende-sometimes in articles, sometimes dramatic sketches, etc. The government is not spared by the unknown writer: hence the rarity of the book.

1571

Original and only Edition of this rare work, which was prohibited by the Royal Council of the Indies at the time of publication; the order was revoked in 1729, but was again issued in 1731.

The author was one of the followers of the great Hurtado de Mendoza, and was an actor in, as well as an eye-witness of, many of the events recorded in his work.

1826

A most interesting report on the behaviour of the Spanish officials and priests in Peru, with details frequently of an extraordinary nature. Hence the secret character of the work, which never achieved publication till after the severance from Spain.

29333 JURAS REALES (Baron de) Entretenimientos de un Prisionero en las Provincias del Rio de la Plata (con Apendice), 2 vols. 8vo. Thick Paper, calf, 32s Barcelona, 1828

A valuable set of dissertations upon the natives and history of the New World, written by Don Benito Maria de Moxó, Archbishop of Charcas, whose papers fell into the hands of his nephew, and were printed by the latter under his own name without sufficient acknowledgment. Juras Reales was a Spanish official who fell into the hands of the Patriots, and underwent six years' imprisonment in S. America after the Revolution.

29334 LEMOS. Descripcion de la Prouincia de los QUIXOS, con prologo (dirigido al Duque de Lerma) y diccionario de los vocablos particulares de las Indias y poco familiares en España, por (Francisco de Castro) EL CONDE DE LEMOS Y DE ANDRADA, sm. 4to. 16 leaves of text and folding engraved map, in the original limp vellum, £20. (? Madrid) 1608

EXCESSIVELY RARE, if not unique. Ternaux had the only other copy which is known, but it wanted the map which is contained in the present copy. No title-page was ever printed for this Report, which begins directly with the

prefatory address to the Duque de Lerma, the author's father-in-law (not father, as Ternaux supposed, from the words "Padre y Señor mio.") The Count of Lemos was President of the Council of the Indics, and this treatise seems to be the only one of a series of projected monographs on the various less-known governments in America. The Indians called Quixos formed a separately adininistered department of the Audiencia of Quito, in the present republic of Ecuador, about 250 miles south of Quito.

29335 LIMA. MANIFIESTO y Esclamacion que haze le Universidad de Cargadores del Comercio de España, que reside en esta (Capital) Ciudad de Lima, en su nombre, y del Consulado de Cadiz, en punto del litigio de Jurisdiccion seguido por el Consulado del Peru, contra la dicha Universidad (por Don Alonso Rubio de Ribas), (1736)--VERDAD aclarada y defensa politica con que la parte del Tribunal del Consulado de Lima desvanece las imposturas de un papel impresso con el titulo de Manifiesto y Exclamacion, 1737-2 parts in 1, sm. folio, red morocco, gilt edges, by Bedford, EXCESSIVELY RARE, £16. Lima, 1736-37

The squabble between the Spanish West India Directors (if I may so name them) and the Peruvian Chamber of Commerce, although not of very wide interest, nevertheless involves the history of the foundation and administration of the Board of Trade for the Indies, and the bases of the fiscal settlement of the new territories. It also foreshadows the collision which led to the separation of the two countries.

29336 LIMA. Constituciones y Ordenanzas antiguas y añadidas y modernas de la Real Universidad y Estudio General de San Marcos de la Ciudad de Los Reyes del Peru, sm. folio, fine copy in vellum, 20s Los Reyes, 1735

The first volume is important for the general history of Peru in the sixteenth century; the third contains many valuable particulars concerning the Indian tribes and their customs. The second volume is full of saints and devils.
