Printed by the Stinehour Press in an edition limited to 1,250 copies. A facsimile of the second English edition London, 1810 . Introductory essay by D.A. Brading. Viscardo y Guzman's Letter to the Spanish Americans was a spur to action comparable, in some respects to Thomas Paine's Common Sense in the United States in 1776. In Peru and elsewhere today, after many years of neglect, Viscardo is regarded as a great forerunner of the movement for political independence in colonial Spanish America.

The Boundless Deep

Hattendorf, John B.

Military

Catalogue of an exhibition of rare books, maps, charts, prints and manuscripts relating to maritime history from the collection of the John Carter Brown Library. "The Boundless Deep..." addresses the epic story of the European expansion across the ocean, beginning with the Portuguese voyages down the west coast of Africa in the middle of the fifteenth century and culminating in the great scientific expeditions of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. This maritime achievement, which on land often caused extraordinary and painful disruptions in the traditional societies around the world, at the same time, made possible the geographical unification of the earth and the overcoming of human isolation in every corner of the globe. Like the exhibition, held in the Spring of 2003 at the Newport Art Museum, this catalogue captures the diversity of man's relationship to the sea in the early modern era under seven broad themes: 1. Discovering the Globe and the Sky; 2. Discovering the Nature of the Sea and Its Winds, Tides, and Currents; 3. Preparing to Sail; 4. Life at Sea; 5. Paths Across the Sea; 6. Activities at Sea; and 7. The Literature of the Sea. Includes a chronological, author and title index of works in the catalogue in addition to a list of facsimile editions of maritime books from the John Carter Brown Library Collection. Contains 115 illustrations, many in full color. xxii, 204 pages. stiff paper wrappers.. small 4to..
