Two depositions, one from Casa d'Yrujo, Spanish minister plenipotentiary, the other from John Phillips Ripley, relating to the nascent impeachment trial against the former senator from Tennessee, William Blount.

...RELACION VERDADERA DEL VIAJE, ENTRADA, Y RECIBIMIETO QUE LA CIUDAD DE BARCELONA HIZO A LA BUENA VENIDA DEL SEÑOR CARDENAL LEG

[Barberini, Francesco]:

Madrid: Bernardino de Guzman, [1626]., [4]pp. In Spanish. Woodcut illustration of ship and boats landing near a castle on first page. Small folio. Dbd. Contemporary manuscript docketing on fourth page. Early folds. Large chip (approximately 2 3/4 x 2 inches) in lower outer corner of second leaf, touching a few of the final letters on ten lines of text; loss from worming on a few letters of a dozen lines of text. Wear along folds; all losses filled by silk. Good. Spanish newsletter account of the historical visit of Cardinal Barberini to Barcelona during his 1626 diplomatic mission to Spain. Francesco Barberini of Florence (1597-1679) was the nephew of Pope Urban VIII and a prominent church leader during the 17th century, noted for his diplomatic activities during the Thirty Years' War and his extensive humanism. A lifelong supporter of artists, scientists, and intellectuals, Barberini was one of three of ten judges at Galileo's trial who refused to sign Galileo's sentence, and he was the founder of the renowned Barberini Library, a central meeting place for scholars in 17th-century Rome and home to one the world's great collections of manuscripts (now part of the Vatican Library). In February 1626, Barberini departed Rome as legate a latere to Spain, where he negotiated with the Count-Duke of Olivares on the question of French and Spanish control of the Valtellina. On March 18, 1626, Barberini arrived in Barcelona amidst much fanfare, which is recounted in the present newsletter. The text describes the visit from the landing of the Papal embassy to a series of musical performances and celebrations and the various meetings between the young Cardinal and local dignitaries.

800 Years of Women's Letters.

Kenyon, Olga; James, P.D. (foreword).

Boston:: Faber & Faber,, 1993. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING. 298 pages. The book and dust jacket are FINE. A tight, bright, pristine copy. NOT price-clipped. NOT remaindered. Dust jacket notes read: "In this engrossing anthology, the first truly comprehensive study of women's letters, Olga Kenyon takes us from the twelfth century to the present day and explores the, tradition of female letter-writing that has existed for over eight centuries. Here is Heloise writing to Abelard's 'superior wisdom' of 'how much I have lost in you' from twelfth-century Paris; Margaret Pas ton, the efficient manager of her husband's estate, vividly describing her troubles in affectionate letters to her husband while he was practising law in London during the Wars of the Roses; Elizabeth I firmly but tactfully refusing Erik of Sweden's offer of marriage as she 'highly commends this single life'; Queen Victoria complaining to Sir Robert Peel about the 'disgrace' in the neglect of Buckingham Palace; Jane Austen writing to her sister Cassandra, and Fanny Burney on Dr Johnson; Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf exchanging intimate thoughts on their lives and writing; Lady Mary Wortley Montagu describing how, abandoned by her lover, she rebuilds her life and her garden in Italy 'enjoying every amusement that solitude can afford'; and many more lesser known women whose writing reveals much of their day to day lives and the sometimes restricted world they inhabited. The collection has a wide geographical range: Mary Kingsley writes of her experiences travelling in the Congo, and the voices of women in America, France and Spain, such as George Sand and La Pasionaria, can also be heard. The letters are divided into chapters thematically: How Women View their Roles, Friendship, Childhood and Education, Love and Sexual Passion, Marriage and Childbirth, Housekeeping and Daily Life, Work, War and Alleviating Suffering, Travellers and Travelling, Illness and Ageing, Political Skills. An appendix covers the epistolary novel, and a full bibliography is also included. Both entertaining and informative, the letters reveal the nature of women's lives throughout the centuries, and provide an invaluable historic resource. Despite radical differences, these letters display compassion, analysis, humility, humour and love. A captivating insight into past women's lives, 800 Years of Women's Letters will be enjoyed by all, and will be particularly welcomed by historians and those interested in women's studies. OLGA KENYON is a lecturer at Bradford University. Previously Head of Humanities at Morley College and a lecturer for the Open University, she specializes in women's literature. She has had a number of articles and books published, including Women Novelists Today (Harvester, 1988), Women Writing Worldwide (Pluto, 1991), Women Writers Talk (Lennard, 1989) and The Writer's Imagination (1992). She also edits Spanish Studies, an annual on society and literature in Spain and Latin America today." Fine in Fine DJ. First edition.

London:: James Hodges,, 1739. "The fact that the Hoover Collection contains eight editions of Barba's work is an indication of Mr Hoover's keen appreciation of its significance. As a matter of fact the U.S. President said on many occasions that the mining techniques first elucidated by Agricola and Barba had much to do with the sucess of the Spanish mines of the New World. Barba who was pastor of St. Bernard's at Potosi, revealed a little too much about metals and refining for the taste of the Spanish Inquisition and his book was prohibited in Spain at that time."
