Viceroy Revillagigedo is put out that the notaries are not obeying the law and respecting the various quasi-legal reminders of their duty and obligation to notify the sales tax authorities of all sales and transfers of property that they record and certify. The viceroy now requires that all notarial documents involving sales or transfers of property or auctions must include a certification by a sales tax official in order to be valid.

Imperial
Troops Enter Naples
(NEWSLETTER).
Relazione della gloriosa entrata dell'armi cesaree in questo regno, e città
di Napoli. Sotto la condotta dell'Ecc. Signor Giorgio Adamo conte di Martinitz,
plenipotenziario cesareo in Italia, e vice-rè in questo regno per la
maesta' di Carlo III. d'Austria nostro glorioso monarca, e comandante dal signor
generale conte di Daun. Napoli: Presso Dom. Antonio
Parrino, e Michele-Luigi Muzio,1707. 4to (21 cm, 8.25"). [2] ff.
$250.00

The Kingdom of Naples was in Spanish hands from 1502, but inefficient
administration succeeded in alienating the nobility and the people. A series
of insurrections and foreign interventions followed over the next two centuries,
until an Austrian army finally took the city in 1707 during the vacuum period
between the death of the last Hapsburg ruler of Spain and the success of the
Bourbons in capturing the vacant Spanish throne. With the support of an anti-Spanish
faction, Archduke Charles of Austria was then proclaimed king as Charles III,
as this contemporaneous item relates. This newsletter is simply printed, with
a woodcut vignette of the imperial double-headed eagle.
This
item is rare: No copies were found in OCLC, RLIN, or NUC Pre-1956.
Removed from a nonce volume;
without wrappers. Uncut. A few very light spots of foxing.
In excellent shape.

History
Núñez, Ignacio Benito. Noticias historicas de la Republica Argentina. Obra postuma del Sr. D. Ignacio Nuñez. Dedicada al Sr. Dr. D. Valentin Alsina...por el hijo del autor, D. Julio Nuñez. Buenos Aires: Impr. de Mayo, 1857. 8vo. 2 parts in 1 vol. I: [2] ff., iv, iv, 365 pp. II: 115 pp. [bound with] Trabajos literarios. Buenos Aires: Impr. de Mayo, 1857. 8vo. 81 pp.
$450.00
Núñez was a man of many parts--a military officer, government official, writer, and reporter (1792-1846)--and authored several works with similar titles, some of which were reprinted several times. The Noticias históricas (part two being entitled Efemerides americanas, desde el descubrimiento del Río de la Plata) is a first edition and should not be
confused with earlier works: Its focuses are the English invasions (1806-1807) and the War of Independence (1810-1817), the foci of many of Núñez's historical writings. This 1857 Trabajos literarios, composed of political essays, is also a first edition.
Provenance: Partially erased presentation inscription on first title-page from
Julio Núñez, dated 1862.
Both works are scarce in U.S. libraies.
Palau 196836, 196837, 196838. On Núñez, see: Archivo biográfico de España, Portugal, e Iberoamérica, fiche 665, frames 235-248. Mid-19th-century quarter cloth with marbled paper sides, spine discolored. Private ownership stamps.
