About this Item

[3]pp. Folio. Dbd. Maltese cross at head of title. Contemporary and later manuscript annotations in ink and later pencil annotation on first page. Accomplished in manuscript, with additional manuscript annotations. Manuscript inscription on blank verso of final printed page. Extremely light dampstaining in margins, occasional minor soiling and ink stains (the latter touching a few letters). Very good. A rare proclamation by Ferdinand VI, King of Spain, demanding that earlier laws regarding the appointment of judges in the Spanish Indies be observed. The decree states that disregard of these laws and guidelines in the past has been a great injustice, causing injury to royal interests and to the general population. This proclamation was to be sent to the viceroys and audiencias throughout the Spanish Indies. This copy, accomplished in manuscript at Aranjuez, Spain on August 20, 1758, is signed by Juan Emanuel Crespo, with the inscription "Yo El Rey" and the annotation "Por mandado del Reyno exo. señor." A manuscript inscription on the blank verso of the final printed page, dated December 4, 1759, confirms that the decree had been reviewed by the President, the fiscal, and other high-ranking officials in Santiago de Chile. Not in OCLC, Medina (BHA), or Palau. Seller Inventory # WRCAM37969
