MILIZIA, Francisco.

Madrid: Imprenta Real, 1789. 8vo. 237p. Small, clean tear in leaf M4 repaired with transparent archival tape. Contemporary vellum (with some wear at corners, edges and at joints). Very slight discolouration mainly in upper margin of first and final few leaves. Number '1397' in ink on front pastedown. **** 'Francisco Milizia (1725-1798) was unquestionably the most influential and the most prolific of the Italian Settecento theoreticians whose concepts and opinions, subsumed under the term Illuminismo (Enlightenment), are connected with rationalism and particularly with the doctrines of Carlo Lodoli. Milizia's architectural criticism is also the most consistent in its advocacy of the new, anti-baroque, and neoclassicist ideals.' - W. Oechslin, Macmillan Encyclopaedia of Architecture, v.3, pp.197-9. This work on the theatre (first Italian edition, 1711; Spanish translation by José Francisco Ortíz) contains a substantial discussion of theatre architecture, with brief discussions of the chief theatres of Italy, France, England and Russia.

OLANETA, José Antonio de. (TACON Y ROSIQUE, Miguel, Marquis de la Union de Cuba)

Juicio de residencia del escelentísimo se–or Don Miguel Tacón, Vizconde del Bayamo, Marqués de la Union de Cuba, Caballero de la Insigne Orden del Toison de Oro, Teniente General de los egércitos nacionales, gobernador y capitan general que fué de la isla de Cuba: ó sea coleccion de varios escritos presentados por su apoderado y defensor el se–or Don José Antonio de Ola–eta, Fiscal electo de la Audiencia Pretorial mandada establecer en la ciudad de La Habana, y dados á luz por el Comercio, con un apéndice que contiene las respectivas sentencias.

Filadelfia: Imprenta de A. Walker, 1839. 201p. Publisher's brown embossed cloth; gilt spine title; spine very slightly faded. ***** Tacón arrived as Spanish Governor of Cuba in 1834. His despotic administration resulted in the alienation and radicalization of those Cubans seeking independence (many of whom were exiled). By preventing elections of Cubans to the Spanish Cortés, he further wounded national pride and increased opposition to his rule. Tacón derived substantial personal wealth from his support of the slave trade and in 1838 he resigned, returned to Spain and was created Vizconde de Bayamo and Marqués de la Unión de Cuba. This work was written in regard to charges arising out of Tacón's conduct as Governor. ***** References: Palau 326520 (under Tacón); Sabin 94193; Shaw & Shoemaker, A checklist of American imprints for 1839, no.57699; Carlos M. Trelles, Bibliografía cubana del siglo XIX, v.2, p.208: 'Conviene estudiar esta publicación para formular datos precisos respecto de esa época en la historia insular. A la vez se encuentran en ella curiosas y œtiles noticias sobre la historia antigua de la Habana que no deben ser indiferentes para el verdadero amor patria. Esta obra va haciéndose muy escasa.'
